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.
