Table 1 The means and standard deviations for ECD measurements obtained using the SP-2000P and z-ring CS4, intra-observer repeatability, inter-observer reproducibility (z-ring CS4 only), and comparison between SP-2000P vs. z-ring CS4 (mean differences, limits of agreement, paired t -test, un-paired test, and p-values)
