*The dose profile for each selectable nominal tomographic section thickness is not available because
the patient position is fixed throughout the acquisition. The dose profile does not vary across the
field of view because of the cone beam geometry. The nominal tomographic section thickness is
fixed for each protocol and is not selectable prior to acquisition.
