Diagnostic Image Quality
Diagnostic image quality will be determined using a 5-point Likert Scale that reads: 5 - Diagnostic: Excellent diagnostic image quality; 4 - Diagnostic: Good diagnostic image quality; 3 - Diagnostic: Acceptable diagnostic image quality; 2 - Sub-optimal diagnostic: image quality with limited additional clinical information; 1 - Non-diagnostic: non-diagnostic image quality
