Abstract

• Recent papers have shown examples of the methodology involved in integrating image quality with radiation dose and assessing acceptable quality dose (AQD).• As a further step in that direction, translating a 5-point score into a 5-star rating shall be helpful for wider and uniform application and shall be in line with the popular use of the 5-star rating.
