Observer Agreement of Spine Stenosis on Magnetic Resonance Imaging Analysis of Patients With Cervical Spine Myelopathy

Intraobserver and interobserver agreement for results of low-field magnetic resonance imaging in dogs with and without clinical signs of disk-associated wobbler syndrome

“…These findings were in agreement with results of comparable studies 13,[19][20][21][22] in which intraobserver agreement was generally consistently higher than interobserver agreement. Thus, although each observer was very consistent in interpreting MRI studies, some variability existed between observers despite use of standardized definitions and observer expertise.…”

Diagnostic Quality of 3D T2-SPACE Compared with T2-FSE in the Evaluation of Cervical Spine MRI Anatomy

“…Interobserver studies of C-spine MR imaging have reported a wide range of agreement for detection of degenerative disease on T2-FSE or T2-SPACE. [15][16][17][18] None, however, have reported interobserver agreement for T2-FSE visualization of Cspine anatomic structures. Our interobserver agreement results may represent the first description of visualization and detection differences of C-spine MR imaging anatomy on T2-FSE between musculoskeletal radiologists and neuroradiologists.…”

Radiographer reporting of neurological magnetic resonance imaging examinations of the head and cervical spine: Findings of an accredited postgraduate programme

“…In a study which investigated the classification of structural changes in whiplash injuries 26 , the pair-wise interobserver agreement (weighted kappa) was found to be fair to moderate (0.31-0.54) and Cook et al found only poor agreement (Ƙ =-0.12 -0.51) when measuring the interobserver variability in cervical stenosis. 27 Kuijper et al found Kappa scores, for evaluation of herniated discs, spondylotic foramen stenosis and the presence of root compression, was 0.59, 0.63 and 0.67, respectively, in MRI evaluation of patients with cervical radiculopathy 28 .…”
