No statistical difference was detected for the FNAA measurements between EOS and the 3D-R-FCS based on the basal anterior cortex of the femoral neck (P > 0.05). However, a statistical difference was detected between the Reikerås and Murphy methods and EOS (P < 0.05). The value of the intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for the 4 methods measured by evaluator A were 0.89, 0.99, 0.75, and 0.81, respectively, while the ICCs measured by evaluator B were 0.91, 0.98, 0.71, and 0.79, respectively.
