  1. Absolute and relative error are given as mean ± standard deviation. Values of bias and standard deviation yielding to smallest limits of agreement within one row are marked as bold indicating that they were used to calculate equivalence limits. Asterisks indicate ***excellent, **good, and *moderate intraclass correlation (ICC). No asterisk indicates poor agreement. WSS, wall shear stress
