CT is us- Multidetector CT Protocols

Multidetector CT:
Musculoskeletal:

Muscle: R/O tumor

Specific Anatomic Region Muscle

Application R/O tumor

Author Fishman EK

Reference Source Personal Communication

Scanner Used Siemens Plus4 Volume Zoom

KV / mAs / Time per Rotation (sec) 120 / 165 / .5

Detector Collimation (mm) 2.5

Slice Thickness (mm) 3 or 5

Data Reconstruction Interval (mm) 3 or 5

Table Speed (mm per rotation) / Pitch 12.5 / 5

Oral Contrast N/A

IV Contrast Volume and Type 120 cc of Omnipaque 350

Injection Rate 2 cc

Scan Delay (sec) 40-50 sec

3D Technique Used N/A

Comment: -A second reconstruction of the data can be done with a bone algorithm (B60) for better bone detail. You can film the muscle/soft tissue with the reconstructions from the standard acquisition (B30-soft tissue) of the bone with the bone algorithm.
