Musculoskeletal System
l 0.5mm slice thickness can result in
isotropic data set such that x-, y- and z-
axes are equal in size (Will be standard
on 8 and 16 slice scanners)
l Trauma- if scanning chest, abdomen,
pelvis can change FOV, recon to thinner
slices, change to bone algorithm and do
2D and 3D recons to review spine,
without re-imaging as spine protocol
