I scan on a 16slice GE light-speed and our hospital has a 64 slice GE VCT.
I find that our sites scan differently for no reason other than "that is how we've always scanned things". I realize that the 64 slice has some abilities that the 16 does not, but all in all, I understand for most, except cardiac,....we should be capable of scanning under the same protocol specs...
My question for you is: Is it neccessary to split exams (and contrast administration) for multi anatomic regions? For instance neck and chest?
i.e scanning neck first (arms down) and then scan chest with arms up ???
.....why not just scan craniocaudal in AP/LAT scout and then continue 1 helical set with 1 contrast bolus?
