Internal auditory canals: R/O mass, infection

Specific Anatomic Region Internal auditory canals

Application R/O mass, infection

Reference Source Siemens Medical Systems

Scanner Used Siemens Plus4 Volume Zoom

KV / mAs / Time per Rotation (sec) 120 / 220 / 1.0

Detector Collimation (mm) .5

Slice Thickness (mm) .5 or 1

Data Reconstruction Interval (mm) .5 or 1

Table Speed (mm per rotation) / Pitch 1 / 2

Oral Contrast N/A

IV Contrast Volume and Type N/A

Injection Rate N/A

Scan Delay (sec) N/A

3D Technique Used N/A

Comments:

If a tilted gantry is used, then the study is done in sequence mode. The parameters are 140/220/1.0 with .5 mm collimations and .5 mm slice thickness. Both are done with the 90U ultra sharp kernel.

With .5 mm detectors you have isotropic datasets.
