  • 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.
