Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of the examination results using a stationary high-end ultrasound device (SHUD) and a handheld ultrasound device (HHUD) for 105 lesions (n) analyzed regarding the skin-to-lesion distance and the lesions’ volume as an influencing factor, presented with 95% confidence interval (CI)

| Skin-to-lesion distance < 5 mm (n = 44) | 0.848 (0.738–0.914) | 0.928 (0.871–0.960) | 0.833 (0.713–0.905) | 0.547 (0.299–0.726) |
| Skin-to-lesion distance ≥ 5 mm (n = 61) | 0.983 (0.971–0.990) | 0.978 (0.963–0.987) | 0.962 (0.967–0.988) | 0.899 (0.937–0.977) |
| Volume < 0.5 ml (n = 52) | 0.803 (0.682–0.882) | 0.719 (0.558–0.828) | 0.702 (0.534–0.817) | 0.816 (0.699–0.891) |
