Step 4: Input of Scan Parameters
The input of the scan and examination parameters is
mostly made in a similar way to that used for SSCT
scanners. However, some important modifications
should be observed (fig. 7.9):
• the number N of slices acquired simultaneously
has to be entered in a separate column;
• the corresponding check box has to be activated in
order to enable the correction of the effective dose
values if the examination has been performed with
longitudinal or 3D dose modulation;
• the presentation of scan parameters (tube current,
slice collimation, reconstructed slice thickness,
pitch) largely differs between the scanner manufacturers. Please make use of the scan parameter
translator given in the appendix.
Results
Relative and absolute dose values are presented in
the same way to that used for SSCT scanners. Please
Fig 7.9 Input of MSCT scan parameters for each type of examination; column ‘N’ has been added, and correction for
dose modulations effects can be applied by activating the corresponding check box. Take care of the pitfalls resulting from
non-uniform presentation of scan parameters at the scanner
consoles of different manufacturers, Make use of the scan parameter translator in the appendix.
