NRS | Motion category | Motion pattern description | |
---|---|---|---|
0 | 0 | No motion | No motion |
1 | 1 | Mild motion | Delicate budging |
2 | Discreet, yet progressive jolt or small budging | ||
3 | Relevant, progressive budging | ||
4 | 2 | Moderate motion | Shift between t0 and t1, relevant subtraction artifacts |
5 | Moderate unilateral motion | ||
6 | Significant unilateral shift and/or rotational component | ||
7 | Large t0–t1 shift, substantial subtraction artifacts | ||
8 | 3 | Severe motion (nondiagnostic image quality) | Rugged distortions, tumors possibly not detectable |
9 | Extensive lateral/rotational motion with artifacts | ||
10 | Maximum and extensive distortions |
