Table 2.
Image quality scores for 2D and 3D LGE imaging
| 5, n (%) | 4, n (%) | 3, n (%) | 2 (%) | 1 (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3D water-only (n = 40) | 21 (53) | 13 (33) | 6 (15) | 0 | 0 |
| 3D in-phase (n = 40) | 21 (53) | 13 (33) | 6 (15) | 0 | 0 |
| 2D (n = 40) | 25 (63) | 11 (28) | 4 (10) | 0 | 0 |
5 = excellent image quality, interpretable with no artifacts; 4 = good image quality, interpretable with minimal artifacts; 3 = average image quality, interpretation mildly degraded by image artifacts; 2 = below average image quality, interpretable but moderately degraded; 1 = poor image quality, uninterpretable images
