Results of the evaluation of the findings by the 3 experts considering the APa and lateral CXRsb without additional clinical information. Each data point of the table represents the number of patients where the evaluators reported 1 or more times the presence of the finding. The last row includes all the patients with any of the previous abnormalities. The order of the data comes from the assessment of the findings by evaluators 1/2/3 (N=218).
