MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; 99mTc-MDP SPECT/CT, technetium Tc 99m methylene disphosphonate single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography; CI, confidence interval; PABAK, prevalence-adjusted bias-adjusted κ.

a

Two patients (4 facets) did not have readings for T12/L1, and there were no positive consensus assessments for 99mTc-MDP SPECT/CT diagnosis for T12/L1.

b

CI was not estimable from the data.
