Image quality

GradeCharacteristics
4Excellent (high contrast, no artifacts)
3Good (high contrast; minimal artifacts, eg, due to movement or implants)
2Compromised (eg, noticeable movement artifacts and/or reduced homogeneity of the vessel contrast)
1Heavily compromised (low contrast and/or strong movement artifacts)
0Not diagnostic (vasculature is not differentiable due to heavy artifacts and/or missing contrast)
