Intra- and Inter-Rater Reliability of Processing Ultrasound Tissue Characterization Scans in Midportion Achilles Tendinopathy
Table 2
Mean echo-types percentages of the participants’ Achilles tendons (reviewer 1, MM; rating 1).
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Echo-types I, II, III, and IV are expressed as a percentage of the analyzed Achilles tendon volume. Combined, the echo-types I + II represent aligned fibrillar structure, and the echo-types III + IV disorganized tendon structure. SD: standard deviation; min: minimum; max: maximum; AoMD: area of maximum degeneration (1 slide in the Achilles tendon midportion with the lowest representation of echo-type I). |
