Fig. 4B Graphs show overall image quality scores. SMA = superior mesenteric
artery, IMA = inferior mesenteric artery. Overall image quality scores for all
arterial segments (A) and for arterial segments with > 10% narrowing
(B). Data are mean ± SD, with SDs being shown by horizontal tic
marks with each bar. Scoring scale was as follows: 1 = poor image quality and
blurring of arterial segment; 2 = fair image quality, inadequate for confident
diagnosis; 3 = good image quality and arterial enhancement, adequate for
confident diagnosis; and 4 = excellent image quality and arterial enhancement,
for highly confident diagnosis. Note that majority of arterial segments (82%)
scored for image quality were relatively healthy (no stenosis or < 10%
irregularities).
