21 Revised 7/22/09 (Gentry/Ranallo) Pediatric Head: (Axial Mode) (Less than 6 years of age) (Protocol # 11.5 & 11.6) Billing: 1. CT Head without, or with, or without and with 2. Contrast if used Setup: 1. Supine, AP and lateral scouts 2. Helical mode should be used routinely for pediatric head CT scans. Only use axial mode when you cannot move the patient’s head into proper position (trauma, cervical collar, rigid neck). This mode can also be used in unstable patients in the emergency department when the CT scan time must be expedited. 3. Patient Positioning: Using the lateral scout image, angle the gantry so that it is parallel to a line connecting the infraorbital rim with the opisthion (see below). 4. Start scans at the bottom of C1 and scan through the top of the head DFOV: Preferred 16 cm (Range 14-18 cm) Contrast: 1. 1 ml / pound (2 ml/kg) of 240 non-ionic contrast @ 0.6 ml/sec 2. Begin scanning as soon as contrast injection is finished Patient Age: Other Info: Choose the CT scan factors on the scanner for the proper age range of the patient 1. Child: (3 – 6 years) 2. Infant: (0 – 3 years)
