Scoring of criteria used for evaluation of conventional and deep learning-based reconstruction (dDLR) images

Sore	Perceived signal-to-noise ratio	Image contrast*	Image sharpness	Identification of hippocampal layer structure	Artifacts disturbing evaluation	Overall image quality
1	Too noisy	One of the structures is not separated.	Poor	Obscure	Severe	Poor
2	Noise has an adverse effect on interpretation	All of the structures are separated, but the contrast is weak.	Fair	Partially identified	Moderate	Fair
3	No adverse effect for interpretation	All of the structures are mostly separated.	Good	Mostly identified	Mild	Good
4	Little or no noticeable noise	All of the structures are clearly separated.	Excellent	Entirely identified	Little or none	Excellent
