From: 3D scanner’s potential as a novel tool for lymphedema measurement in mouse hindlimb models
New parameters in lymphedema assessment, (a) Cross-sectional area compared with the CT reference: The Bland–Altman plot contrasts the measurements of cross-sectional area against the CT reference, revealing a trend of systematic overestimation. Despite this overestimation, the limits of agreement of the plot show significant variability, which points to underestimation in some cases. This indicates a range of consistency in the scanner method measurements. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for this assessment is 0.977, reflecting high reliability. (b) Hindlimb volume compared with the CT reference: The Bland–Altman plot contrasts hindlimb volume measurements against the CT reference, also revealing a trend of systematic overestimation. Similarly, the limits of agreement show significant variability, suggesting underestimation at times, which indicates variability in the scanner method measurements. The ICC for this assessment is 0.984, demonstrating very high reliability.
