  1. This table details the bias, standard deviation, and limits of agreement in the assessment of paw thickness across different levels of edema severity. The paw thickness ranged from 2.35 mm to 3.43 mm. It provides critical insights into the accuracy and consistency of paw thickness measurements under different pathological conditions, highlighting how edema severity influences measurement precision and reliability.
  2. Caliper: Paw thickness measured using the silk method.
  3. Scanner: Paw thickness measured using the scanner method.
  4. CT: Paw thickness measured using micro-CT.
  5. Unit: mm.
