Grading criteria for imaging findingsa

Category Grades

Size symmetry Markedly asymmetric Mildly-to-moderately asymmetric Symmetric
Degree of enhancement Less than extraocular muscle Similar to extraocular muscle Greater than extraocular muscle
T2 signal intensity Similar to extraocular muscle Similar to gray matter Similar to vitreous
a

Grading criteria for the symmetry of the size of the nasal turbinates, their overall degree of enhancement, and their signal intensity on the T2-weighted images. Scores range from 1 to 3, with scores of 1.5 or 2.5 representing the intermediate grade between 2 levels.
