Table 2 Image evaluation scoring criteria

From: Feasibility of pulmonary MRI for nodule detection in comparison to computed tomography

 

Image evaluation scoring criteria

1 = non-diagnostic

Severe blurred margins; internal heterogeneity cannot be seen

2 = poor

Moderate to severe blurred margins; internal heterogeneity cannot be delineated

3 = sufficient

Acceptable margins resulting in an image with clear signs of speculation, lobulation, and pleural retraction; and internal heterogeneity can be seen

4 = good

Sharp margins; lesion can be seen with good delineation of signs (including speculation, lobulation, and pleural retraction); internal heterogeneity is well delineated
