Image reviewing scores

Score
Overall image quality1-Optimal quality
2-Minimally limited
3-Limited but interpretable
4-Non diagnostic
SNR1-Optimal SNR
2-Mildly diminished SNR not affecting image interpretation
3-Mild to moderate diminished SNR limiting image interpretation
4-Markedly diminished SNR that renders the images uninterpretable
Artifacts1-None
2-Trace
3-Not affecting arterial anatomy
4-Slightly affecting arterial anatomy
5-Obscured arterial anatomy
Arterial blood suppression1-Complete blood suppression
2-Minimal central luminal artifact
3-Luminal flow artifact mimicking lesion in 1−2 segments
4-Luminal flow artifact mimicking lesion in >2 segments
Venous blood suppression1-No venous flow artifact
2-Peripheral venous artifact
3-Peripheral and central venous artifact that does not mimic lesions
4-Venous artifact that mimics wall and luminal abnormalities
Lesion assessment1-Well visualized with sharp margins
2-Minimal blurring with loss of margins but clear pattern and structure of involvement
3-Structure of involvement clear but pattern limited
4-Lesion pattern and structure involved cannot be determined
