Overview
This folder contains 8 organ specific pediatric proto-
cols with 2 to 5 age or weight dependant subgroups.
For your convenience, the protocols are numbered
according to the body regions, i.e. from head to
abdomen.
The scan protocols for Head and Neck regions are
defined according to age, and the scan protocols for
the other body regions are defined according to body
weight.
As a default, the effective mAs is set to the lowest
category, e.g. less than 6 months in head modes, and
the suggested effective mAs values for the other cate-
gories are written in additional lines in the chronicle.
For a few protocols, 80 kV is used instead of 120 kV,
either to exploit the significantly higher image contrast
of iodine contrast media at 80 kV or to reach a lower
dose level than possible with 120 kV.
