  		Fig. 1 —Screen capture shows interface used for side-by-side comparison of temporally sequential CT scans from 38-year-old man. Baseline scan is viewed on left side, and follow-up scan (for which measurements were acquired for this study) is viewed on right side. For visual approach of measurement, line segments representing baseline scan measurements were superimposed on baseline scan images for direct visual comparison.

  		Fig. 3B —66-year-old man. Tumor thickness measurements acquired by observer on corresponding follow-up scan section (as selected by that observer) based on written report of baseline scan measurements (black line segments) and with benefit of visual aid (white line segments). Baseline measurements were not superimposed during implementation of written-report approach.
