RRI and RPI were measured in the left kidney of 10 client-owned dogs by four different operators with varying levels of experience, using two different ultrasound scanners. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) between the two ultrasound scanners for both RRI and RPI were good to excellent in all four observers (ICC > 0.75 and <em>p</em> < 0.05). Similarly, a good to excellent correlation coefficient was observed between the measurements of the four operators for both indices across each ultrasound scanner (ICC > 0.75 and <em>p</em> < 0.05). These findings indicate that RRI and RPI are feasible and reproducible measurements with good inter-scanner and inter-observer agreement, regardless of operator experience. However, achieving high reproducibility requires adequate training and the use of a standardized protocol with strict but adaptable settings tailored to each patient's characteristics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21083,"journal":{"name":"Research in veterinary science","volume":"196 ","pages":"Article 105882"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145004946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
