Improving Interrater Agreement About Brain Microbleeds : Development of the Brain Observer MicroBleed Scale (BOMBS)

If the diagnostic and prognostic significance of brain microbleeds (BMBs) are to be investigated and used for these purposes in clinical practice, observer variation in BMB assessment must be minimized. Two doctors used a pilot rating scale to describe the number and distribution of BMBs (round, low...
