Protocols

Head and Neck | Thoracic | Abdominal
The following section is a collection of protocols that are from published articles in the literature and our own experience. Obviously, these are not the only "correct" protocols and the specific protocol that an individual institution uses depends on a number of factors including the type of scanner available and individual experience. If your favorite protocol is not listed do not feel bad. As long as it is successful- do it. For a more extensive spiral CT protocol resource, please see the Spiral CT Protocols section of this web site.
