Because of proximal femur anatomy and computed tomography (CT) acquisition, the femoral head and neck are often visualized on different slices, making identification of the femoral\u2010head\u2013neck axis (FHNA) challenging. This study introduces a new method based on the maximum intensity projection (MIP) function available in most DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) viewers. By increasing the thickness of the bone segment displayed on a single two\u2010dimensional image, MIP allows simultaneous visualization of the femoral head and neck, simplifying FHNA identification. To evaluate intra\u2010 and interobserver reliability of the MIP method and compare it with established techniques. The hypothesis was that MIP would provide superior repeatability and reproducibility than other techniques.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Between 2019 and 2023, 135 consecutive bilateral lower limb CT angiographies were retrospectively screened. A calculated sample size of 50 patients meeting the inclusion criteria was chronologically enroled. Radiographic measurements were performed at Time 0 and after 30 days by two independent observers following a calibrated training phase. FNA was measured using five methods: Murphy, Hernandez, Waidelich, Yoshioka and MIP. Intraobserver and interobserver reliability were evaluated using a two\u2010way random\u2010effects, single\u2010measures, absolute\u2010agreement intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC (2,1)] model, alongside standard error of measurement (SEM). For pairwise comparisons of estimated marginal means derived from the linear mixed\u2010effects model, Tukey's honestly significant difference adjustment was applied. For pairwise comparisons of bootstrap\u2010derived ICC differences,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      values were adjusted using the Holm step\u2010down procedure.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fifty CT angiographies were analysed. Mean FNA values were significantly different among most methods (Murphy: 18.4\u00b0\u2009\u00b1\u20097.2; Waidelich: 24.6\u00b0\u2009\u00b1\u20097.4; Yoshioka: 11.5\u00b0\u2009\u00b1\u20097.8; Hernandez: 10.7\u00b0\u2009\u00b1\u20097.1; MIP: 13.7\u00b0\u2009\u00b1\u20096.2) The proposed MIP method demonstrated high intraobserver repeatability (Observer 1: ICC\u2009=\u20090.97; Observer 2: ICC\u2009=\u20090.95) and interobserver reproducibility (ICC\u2009=\u20090.84 for single\u2010measure absolute agreement).
