Accuracy and precision of abdominal diameter measurement by a new instrument
Objective: To study the accuracy and precision of abdominal diameter measurement of a new instrument. Material and Methods: Nineteen healthy volunteers (15 men and 4 women) aged 20-44 year and median body mass index of 22.0 kg/m2 (range 18.8-36.8) were studied. The sagittal and transverse abdominal...
