Linearly weighted kappa (95% CI) | Proportion of agreement (95% CI) | Intraclass correlation coefficient of calcium (Agatston) scores (95% CI) | |
Automatic vs. manual (n = 163) | 0.80 (0.74–0.87) | 0.79 (0.72–0.85) | 0.86 (0.81–0.89) |
Breath-hold (n = 58) | 0.86 (0.77–0.96) | 0.88 (0.76–0.95) | 0.95 (0.91–0.97) |
Without breath-hold (n = 105) | 0.77 (0.68–0.85) | 0.74 (0.65–0.82) | 0.66 (0.54–0.76) |
Automatic vs. automatic(n = 294) | 0.61 (0.50–0.72) | 0.84 (0.80–0.89) | 0.34 (0.23–0.44) |
