Intra- and interreader reliability per imaging modality

Intrareader (reader 1) Interreader (reader 1 first reading versus reader 2)
k (95 % CI) PABAK (95 % CI) ICC (95 % CI) k (95 % CI) PABAK (95 % CI) ICC (95 % CI)
HR-pQCT .52 (0.48 to 0.56) .53 (0.39 to 0.66) 0.61 (0.49 to 0.70) .37 (0.33 to 0.41) .38 (0.23 to 0.53) 0.55 (0.43 to 0.65)
μCT .71 (0.67 to 0.75) .72 (0.60 to 0.83) 0.75 (0.68 to 0.82) .45 (0.41 to 0.49) .47 (0.33 to 0.61) 0.54 (0.35 to 0.67)

Intra- and interreader reliability of HR-pQCT and μCT images based on 152 quadrants for HR-pQCT and 148 quadrants on μCT. Kappa value was calculated on the presence of a cortical break (yes/no) and ICC was calculated on the total number of cortical breaks in all quadrants
