Document Summary

Centering: cr angled 15-20 degrees cephalad, center to the lo(cid:449)er (cid:373)argi(cid:374) of the th(cid:455)roid (cid:272)artilage/ada(cid:373)"s apple. Collimation: to soft tissue edges of neck, c3-t3 vertebral spaces. Include to top of ear down to jugular notch. Breathing: suspended respiration, patient should not swallow during the exposure. Centering: cr directed perpendicular to ir, which should be centered to cr, ce(cid:374)ter to c4/ada(cid:373)s"s apple. Include the soft tissue laterally up until the eye. Sid: 180cm, larger sid to accommodate for the increased oid. Centering: cr perpendicular to the ir, centre to t1 (2. 5 cm from top of jugular notch) Collimation: collimate tightly to area of interest. Exposure: 80-85 kvp, 100-120 mas, large focal spot. Breathing: suspend respiration on full expiration. Centering: cr perpendicular to ir, ce(cid:374)tre to le(cid:448)el of c4/ada(cid:373)"s apple. Include soft tissue of neck anterior and posteriorly. Exposure: 75-85 kvp, 20-28 mas, large focal spot. Centering: cr perpendicular to ir, center to center of open mouth.
