  1. The distribution of error types was as follows: miscalculation of excursion (n = 12), skip ossification (n = 3), isolated non-linear ossification (n = 3), micro-fusion (n = 3), pseudo-fusion (n = 14), and presence of gas shadow (n = 1). Further, the results of the statistical analyses revealed a significant difference between stages (p = 0.011), with stages 1, 2, 3, and 5 exhibiting a lower rate of concordance (<70%). According to FM, concordance rates were 78.57% in stage 0, 40.00% in stage 1, 66.67% in stage 2, 80.95% in stage 3, 36.00% in stage 4, and 100% in stage 5 (Table 2).
