Table 1. Agreement between Axial and Coronal Transcerebellar Diameter in 2D conventional and 3D reconstructed MRI.
MRI method | CCC | SE | 95% Confidence Interval |
---|---|---|---|
2D conventional | 0.989 | 0.0029 | 0.981 - 0.993 |
3D reconstructed | 0.999 | 0.0004 | 0.998 - 0.999 |
CCC = concordance correlation coefficient. SE = standard error.
3D reconstructed MRI had higher CCC between axial and coronal transcerebellar diameters than 2D conventional MRI (Z score = 5.676, p<0.001). The p-value corresponds to the null hypothesis that CCC between axial and coronal measurements is the same in 2D conventional and 3D reconstructed MRI. Note that 3D reconstructed MRI had a smaller standard error than 2D conventional MRI, and the 95% confidence intervals do not overlap.
