Table 2:
Grading criteria for imaging findingsa
| Category | Grades |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | |
| 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 |
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.
