If you want to use this protocol for a two-phase study,
repeat the same protocol as mentioned below, and
chose start delay time for arterial phase as 20-25 s. In
this case, the thin slice reconstruction can also be used
for postprocessing. But do not administer oral contrast
medium, as this impairs the editing of MIP/SSD/VRT
images. Water could be used instead if necessary.
You can repeat the same protocol simply by clicking
the chronicle with the right mouse button for “repeat“.
E. g. when both non-contrast and contrast studies are
required.
Contrast medium IV injection
Start delay 50 – 65 sec.
Flow rate 4 ml/sec.
Total amount 100 ml

For the 2
nd
reconstruction the Autoload into the MIPthin
Range on the 3D Card is activated. The images will
be automatically loaded into 3D, MIPthin, and coronal
MIPthin 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.
