This protocol can also be used in case of tumor suspi-
cious of the hypopharynx and larynx. It is recommended
to acquire the images in E-phonation, and reconstruct
the images with 1 mm slice width and increment of
0.7 mm for performing MPRs. This would help differ-
entiate tumor lesions from normal pharyngeal mucosa.

The 2

reconstruction can be loaded in the 3D Card,
MPR. Select the Range function and a predefined MPR
range, linked to the series, 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.
