Table 2:

The mean value and standard deviation of the motion artifact scores for each sequence and overall rating scores from the images obtained using rectilinear and partially radial acquisition techniques

Image Type Motion Score Mean Value ± Standard Deviation
Rectilinear BLADE
FLAIR 1.21 ± 0.63 0.82 ± 0.87
T2WI 1.18 ± 0.86 0.425 ± 0.65
T1WI 1.83 ± 1.21 1.57 ± 1.18
CE-T1WI 0.91 ± 0.64 0.97 ± 0.62
Overall 1.26 ± 0.89 0.90 ± 0.92

Motion artifact scoring scale: 0 indicates no visible motion artifact; 1, visible motion artifact with mild degradation of the image quality; 2, visible motion artifact with moderate degradation of the image quality; 3, visible motion artifact with severe degradation of the image quality; 4, visible motion artifact which renders the image of no diagnostic value.
