Table 2 Assessment of time (measured in minutes) and effort (measured in mouse button presses/clicks) of observer 1 in seven radial MRI planes of 19 FAI (femoroacetabular impingement) hip joints, including mean ± standard deviation, using either the manual or the automated software method, and P-values demonstrating differences in time and clicks between the manual measurement 1 and 2 and between both manual measurements and the automated measurement
