Table 1.
Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and confidence intervals for manual versus computer-assisted measures of angles and bone lengths from patterns drawn using AutoCAD® software. A total of 105 manual measures (3 sets of 5 patterns from each of the 7 readers) and 105 computer-generated measures for each of the angles and bone lengths were evaluated in the reliability analysis.
