    Rih - Pelvis For Fracture / Acetabulum Ge Lightspeed 16 / Optima Ct580 Protocol

    Uploaded by

    Diana Naumchevska
    This document provides scanning protocol details for a pelvis CT to evaluate for fracture or acetabulum injury. It outlines positioning, scan parameters including kV, mA and slice thickness, as well as required reformats and images to send to PACS for radiologist review. Additional notes provide guidance on required reformats depending on fracture location and instructions for CT cystograms.

    2D/3D Technique Used DMPR: sagittal and coronal reformats, 3.0mm x 3.0mm, average mode

    Comments: Recon 1 is a thin helical volume of the pelvis that is archived and used in direct multi-planar reformats.

    When bilateral hips are ordered and there is no obvious fracture, sagittal and coronal reformats of the pelvis are
    required.
    If there is a fracture that does not involve the hip joint, sagittal and coronal reformats of the pelvis are required.
    If there is a fracture that does involve the hip joint, sagittal and coronal reformats of the hip, in respect to the femoral
    neck are required.

    When a ct cystogram is ordered, instill 50 cc of Omni 300 into 500cc of normal saline and retrograde drip into the
    bladder via the patient’s foley.

    Images required in PACS Scouts, 2.5mm x 2.5mm axial pelvis for bone, 5mm x 5mm pelvis for soft
    tissue, 3mm x 3mm sagittal reformats, 3mm x 3mm coronal reformats, Dose
