| confidence interval |
A numerical range within which the true value of a measurement or calculated value lies. In this report, radiological values are shown with a 95 percent confidence interval, ie, there is a 95 percent probability that the true value of a measurement or calculated value lies within the specified range.

| confidence interval |
The 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of all estimates were calculated during the preparation of the report. As a result, there is a 95% probability that the true value for the population lies somewhere in this range of values. If the text reports a difference between two values, the 95% CIs of these estimates do not overlap, and one can be reasonably sure that a true difference exists. If the text does not report on a difference found in the values, the reader should assume that none exists.

| confidence interval |
A measure of the statistical precision (stability of the estimate) of an observed effect size. It is usually expressed as the 95% confidence interval around the point estimate. For example, the effect of estrogen on the relative risk of endometrial cancer may be expressed as 7 (95% CI, 6 to 10), meaning that the relative risk interval between 6 and 10 has a 95% probability of containing the true estimate of risk
