Hints

•Children, who are more than 6 years old, should be scanned with an adult protocol.

•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 100 mAs.
