Ranking scheme for subjective tissue integration quantification of ultrasound images

Subjective ranking key
0 Implant not visible
1 Implant barely visible (roughly 25% or less of margin visible)
2 Implant visible but margins are not well demarcated from adjacent tissue (roughly between 25-50% of margin visible)
3 Implant visible but margins not consistently demarcated from adjacent tissue (roughly between 50-75% of margin visible)
4 Implant is obvious with margins clearly demarcated (roughly between 75-100% of margin visible)
5 Implant extremely obvious with clearly defined margins
