Children
Overview
The scan protocols for children are defined according to body regions – Head, Neck, Shoulder, Thorax, Abdo- men, Pelvis, Spine, Upper Extremities, Lower Extremi- ties, Vascular, Specials and Private.
For children six (6) years and older, use the adult pro- tocols.
Whenever possible, 80 kV is used instead of 130 kV, either to exploit the significantly higher image con- trast of iodine contrast media at 80 kV or to reach a lower dose level than possible with 130 kV.
