  1. This table details the bias, standard deviation, and limits of agreement for circumference measurements across different levels of edema severity. The circumferences ranged from 9.30 mm to 16.16 mm. It provides quantitative insights into how edema severity impacts the accuracy and consistency of circumference assessments, showing variations in measurement discrepancies as influenced by the physiological changes associated with different edema stages.
  2. Silk: Circumference measured using the silk method.
  3. Scanner: Circumference measured using the scanner method.
  4. CT: Circumference measured using micro-CT.
  5. Unit: mm.
