Here, we present the measurement protocol of the bi-directional axial transmission (BDAT) ultrasonic device in detail and test it in a reproducibility study, considering 14 healthy participants and 3 operators. Reliability, measured with the intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), was good to excellent for four parameters of interest.
