摘要
Image quality criteria (IQC) for cine-angiography were recently settled. The aim of this study was to test whether these criteria allow a measurement of the quality of cine-angiograms. A questionnaire was derived from IQC where a binary response was required regarding the degree of visibility of anatomic or pathologic structures. Scores were given on a ranking scale. Two quality scores were defined (total score and minimum score) and standard deviation (SD) was assumed to be an indicator of the method's reproducibility. Data of the total score are presented for the first nine angiograms. Six experts obtained thirty-nine readings. The total scores ranged between 83 and 99% (SD 0.8-18.7%); 89% of the readings were within 4% of SD. This preliminary experience indicates that quality criteria can be translated into a scoring system that yields reproducible data in most instances. The analysis of the remaining angiograms will help in understanding how to improve these results.
