  1. Mean values are shown for three repeated measurements over three different days in 60 participants. All measurements were performed by a single operator. Ao, abdominal aorta; LFA, left femoral artery; RFA, right femoral artery; Ab, lower abdomen; 95%CI, 95% of confidence interval; SD, standard deviation.
