CT is us- Multidetector CT Protocols

Multidetector CT:
Musculoskeletal:

S/C joint: R/O infection, osteomyelitis

Specific Anatomic Region S/C joint

Application R/O infection, osteomyelitis

Author Fishman EK

Reference Source Personal Communication

Scanner Used Siemens Plus4 Volume Zoom

KV / mAs / Time per Rotation (sec) 120 / 120 / .75

Detector Collimation (mm) 1

Slice Thickness (mm) 1.25

Data Reconstruction Interval (mm) 1

Table Speed (mm per rotation) / Pitch 3.5 / 3.5

Oral Contrast N/A

IV Contrast Volume and Type 100-120 cc of Omnipaque 350

Injection Rate 2 cc / sec

Scan Delay (sec) 50 sec

3D Technique Used Volume rendering

Comment: -This protocol is found in the ultrahighres in the extremity protocol. Reconstruct the data also with the soft tissue (B30) algorithm, for an optimal study.
