Intra-observer and inter-observer reproducibility of each measure were reported as ICC with all p<0.05, except for *p=nonsignificant. All p-values for the mean actual difference were nonsignificant except for †p≤0.01.
Proximal anatomical segments includes only segments 1, 5, 6, and 11. Proximal two anatomical segments include only segments 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 11 and 13. LAD denotes left anterior descending artery; LCx, left circumflex artery; RCA, right coronary artery; ICC, intraclass correlation coefficient.
