Table 2. Scales for Qualitative Analysis.
Score | Normal Glandular Tissue Suppression | Overall Image Quality | Lesion Conspicuity |
---|---|---|---|
4 | Uniform throughout field of view | Best | Very confidently assessed |
3 | Inhomogeneity present, but not preventing assessment | Fair | Confidently assessed but slightly lack of delineation of lesion margin |
2 | Inhomogeneity affects clinical assessment | Poor | Lesion present, features indeterminate |
1 | Inhomogeneity prevents diagnostic evaluation | Nondiagnostic | Nondiagnostic |
