Table 4.

Comparison of the error realized on the estimation of the healing time using the quantitative ultrasound (QUS) and RFA measurements in both directions (0° and 90°) and for both directions pooled. The mean and standard deviation values are shown as well as the maximum and minimum values for all implants and each time interval.
