TLDR Observers often disagree on ultrasound results for polycystic ovaries, needing better training for consistency.
The study found that the inter-observer agreement for assessing ultrasonographic features of polycystic ovaries was moderate to poor, indicating variability in how different observers interpreted the ultrasound images. This highlighted the necessity for standardized training modules to improve consistency and accuracy in characterizing polycystic ovarian morphology using ultrasonography.
