→Evaluation: False impression of certainty
|}
The exact geometric magnification of X-rays is generally not known, however, leaving mainly two options:*Reporting a "roughly estimated" diameter by dividing the measured intestinal diameter in the image and dividing it by a rather arbitrary factor of 1.2. However, this confers a false impression of certainty.
*Reporting a qualitative diameter of the intestine, which may be on a mild-moderate-severe scale. However, the measured diameter still needs to be adjusted for geometric magnification in order to be compared to numbers in the table at right.
