Size symmetry | Markedly asymmetric | Mildly-to-moderately asymmetric | Symmetric |
Degree of enhancement | Less than extraocular muscle | Similar to extraocular muscle | Greater than extraocular muscle |
T2 signal intensity | Similar to extraocular muscle | Similar to gray matter | Similar to vitreous |
↵a Grading criteria for the symmetry of the size of the nasal turbinates, their overall degree of enhancement, and their signal intensity on the T2-weighted images. Scores range from 1 to 3, with scores of 1.5 or 2.5 representing the intermediate grade between 2 levels.
