Table 2: Image scoring system for visual grading analysis of DW MR images.
| Score | Image Quality Descriptor | Criteria for grading |
| 1 | Not acceptable | Definite loss of information, image not diagnostically usable. |
| 2 | Acceptable | Moderate limitations of artefacts, no substantial loss of information, images not optimal, but diagnostically acceptable. |
| 3 | Optimal | No artefact related limitations, no loss of information, images optimal for diagnostic purposes. |
