This protocol can also be used in case of suspected
tumor of the hypopharynx and larynx. It is recommen-
ded to acquire the images in E-phonation, and recon-
struct the images with 1 mm slice width and increment
of 0.7 mm for performing MPRs. This would help
differentiate tumor lesions from normal pharyngeal
mucosa.

Start delay 45 sec.
Flow rate 3 ml/sec.

For the 2
nd
reconstruction the Autoload into the MPR
Range on the 3D Card is activated. The images will
be automatically loaded into 3D, MPR, and a sagittal
MPRthick Range will pop up.
Please notice, if you are not satisfied with the Range
preset adapt the parameters to your needs and link them
to the series.
