This table shows survey results of 30 cases scored by 5 readers who had never been exposed to TI rendering. Scores of the perceived use of TI compared to that of conventional rendering were derived using a Likert scale from 1 to 5 (where 1 = strongly disagree; 2 = disagree; 3 = neutral; 4 = agree; and 5 = strongly agree), with median and interquartile ranges (IQR) (top). The number of cases that scored ≥3 and corresponding image features improved with TI for each reader are presented as absolute numbers and % (bottom).
