A total of 35 patients were evaluated, of which 14 patients had only 1 fibroid, 16 had 2 fibroids and 5 had 3 fibroids, totaling 61 UL evaluated.

Uterine and fibroid dimension and volumes.

Volume agreement and correlation of uterine and fibroid volumes are shown in Table 3 and in Fig. 9 for uterine volumes and Fig. 10 for fibroid volumes. As a result, we found that intraclass correlation coefficient values ​​were excellent for experienced and inexperienced observers both for fibroid volume (k_I of 0.993 and 0.994, respectively) and uterine volume (k_I of 0.895 and 0.927, respectively).

FIGO classification, vascularization and degeneration.

Kappa values for agreement in the evaluation of the FIGO classification, vascularization and degeneration are shown in Table 4. For these characteristics, a greater variation in the agreement between observers was noted.

For the FIGO classification, the agreement was moderate (k of 0.609) for inexperienced and substantial (k of 0.767) for the experienced observers.

In the assessment of vascularization, the agreement was fair (k of 0.282) for inexperienced and substantial (k of 0.643) for the experienced observers.

Finally, the evaluation of the presence or absence of degeneration presented a relatively low agreement for both observers, being just moderate (k of 0.582) for inexperienced observers and fair (k of 0.398) for experienced ones.
