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 |
