Acquisition Phase | Phase Included | Scan Delay | Respiration Phase | Anatomical Coverage |
Non Contrast | Yes | N/A | Hold | maxillary through frontal sinus |
Arterial Phase | No | N/A | N/A | N/A |

Delayed Phase | No | N/A | N/A | N/A |
Scan Comments: IV contrast is not routinely necessary. All Scans are performed using the ALARA principle. | ||||
Technical Parameters | Parameters |
kVp | 100 |
Effective mAs | CareDose |
Care Dose Reference mAs | 130 |
Time (Rotation) | 1.0 sec |
Average Acquisition Time | 8 sec |
Collimation | 64 x 0.6mm |
Pitch Value | 0.8 |
Scan Direction | caudocranial |
Comments: Isocentering the patient within the gantry is key to image quality and dose modulation. 100 kVp with Caredose is used to limit patient dose. | |
