Table 1A.

Inter-observer variability in localization of fiducial points. For most images the average distance (MEAN_HD ± STD_HD) between annotations of fiducial points by two different observers is less than 1 cm. Although for few cases we get higher variation, on inspection of the two annotations visually, they seem to represent the same fiducial point (see Fig. 3B).
