Concept of Scan Protocols

The scan protocols for adult and children are defined
according to body regions – Head, Neck, Shoulder,
Thorax, Abdomen, Pelvis, Spine, Upper Extremities,
Lower Extremities, Specials, and Vascular.

The general concept is as follows: All protocols without
suffix are standard spiral modes. E.g., “Shoulder”
means the spiral mode for the shoulder.

The suffixes of the protocol name are follows:

Routine“: for routine studies

Seq”: for sequence studies

Fast“: use a higher pitch for fast acquisition

HR“: use a thinner slice width (1.0 mm) for High Res-
olution studies and a thicker slice width for soft tissue
studies

The availability of scan protocols depends on the sys-
tem configuration.
