3. If desired, enter any remarks in the Study Remarks text field.
4. Select a Resolution from the drop-
down list box.
In general, the lower the voxel size and
the longer the scan time, the better the
resolution and detail; however, a
smaller voxel size and longer scan time
creates a larger data set so the
reconstruction time is longer. Also,
these protocols are more sensitive to
Patient movement, so it is critical to
restrict Patient movement during the
scan. Longer scan times also delivers a
higher radiation dose.
Standard scans should be taken at Full
13cm, 8.9 sec, 0.3 Voxel. This captures
the entire maxillofacial region from
above the condyles down to below the
lower jaw, at the most practical scan
time (reducing chance of movement), at
