-
- Topogram
- Non Contrast (vertex skull to the mid mandible)
Topogram
- Position the patient in head first supine position.
- Align the patient in Mid-Sagittal plane of the table.
- Position the transverse laser light beam at the vertex of skull to start the topogram.
- Head rest must in flat.
Topogram Parameters
- Topogram length: 256 mm
- Slice: 0.6 mm
- Scanning direction: Craniocoudal
- Tube position: Lateral
- Stop the topogram scanning when the scanning reach / pass over the mid of mandible
Non Contrast
- Plan the Scan FOV (SFOV) box at topogram image
- Set the top line at the level upper frontal sinus
- Set the bottom line at the level of lower maxillary sinus
- Ensure the lateral line to cover patient’s head outline.
Scanning Parameters
- kV: 120 kV
- mAs: Tube Current Modulation (TCM)
- Scanning Direction: Craniocaudal
- Scan Delay: 2 s
- Slice: 2.0mm
- Image Comment: –
- Pitch: 0.8
- Quality Reference mAs : 230
