Table 3 Modified scoring system for the visibility/distinction of anatomical structures, according to [18]
Score | Criteria for visibility of anatomical structures: Structures … | Criteria for tissue or contour distinction (differentiation): Contours…/Tissues… |
|---|---|---|
0 | … not visible | … not distinguishable |
1 | … poorly visible, but detectable; identified by its location and signal intensity, not by margins, shape or size | … distinguishable, but often blurred |
2 | … clearly identified by its location, signal intensity and shape, margins not clearly delineated | … well distinguished and seldom blurred |
3 | … very well visualized and clearly delineated by location, shape, signal intensity/density, size and margins | … very well distinguished and sharply defined |
