Children

Hints

•Children, who are more than 6 years old, should be scanned with an adult protocol as the skull by this time is fully grown.

•When bone structure is of interest, use kernel C60s for image reconstruction.

•In order to optimize image quality versus radiation dose, scans are provided within a maximum scan field of 300 mm with respect to the iso-center. No recon job with a field of view exceeding those limits will be possible. Therefore, patient positioning has to be performed accurately to ensure a centered loca- tion of the skull.

•Please change the mAs value according to the age of the child:

3 – 6 years 160 mAs.
