Selecting a Protocol
Dose Control
It is important to put the patient’s
health first when selecting a protocol
for the scan. Keep the following in
mind when selecting a protocol:
•
Multiple low dose scan settings
provide responsible patient-
focused care.
•
Choose a height to narrow the
image and the applied dose to
only the anatomy of interest.
•
Preset fields of view simplify the
imaging process to more
efficiently focus on capturing the
anatomy to fit each patient’s
unique case. Target specifically
desired views including maxilla
or mandible single arch, both
arches, and temporomandibular
joints, cephalometric views, and
full skull.
•
Customize the scan so patients’
anatomy is not exposed outside
the selected field of view.
•
Capture information critical to
treatment through a clinically
responsible approach that
controls radiation exposure to
the patient.
NOTE:
Use the PAN 2D panoramic
imaging when CT 3D information is
not required.
