Table 2 Summary of intra- and inter-observer limits of agreement of resistivity values (Ohms) derived at 14 frequencies by firm pressure of the 12 mm probe on cervix (n = 11).

From: Reproducibility and repeatability of measuring the electrical impedance of the pregnant human cervix-the effect of probe size and applied pressure
