Coronary Angiography Film Quality
Uninterpretable
The primary endpoint cannot be analyzed secondary to exceedingly poor film exposure or quality (i.e. no images on the film, inadequate injection of contrast material, etc.).
Poor
The primary endpoint can be analyzed but with some degree of uncertainty secondary to under or overexposure, poor panning, poor engagement, poor contrast injection, excess collimation, partial obscuration by diaphragm, and/or omission of images showing major coronary arteries (left or right system).
Average
Adequate film quality. The primary endpoint can be analyzed. Some images show under or overexposure, poor panning, poor engagement, poor contrast injection, excess collimation, and/or partial obscuration by diaphragm.
Good
The primary endpoint can be analyzed. The majority of images show proper exposure, proper panning, proper engagement, proper contrast injection, minimal collimation, and/or minimal obscuration by diaphragm.
Excellent
The primary endpoint can be analyzed. All images show proper exposure, proper panning, proper engagement, proper contrast injection, minimal collimation, and/or minimal obscuration by diaphragm.
