A patient is being positioned for a routine scan of the brain.Why is he asked to tuck his chin down toward his chest?
- So that the scan time can be reduced
- To allow immobilization sponges to be used
- To reduce the radiation
- To eliminate the need to tilt the gantry so that the axial scan mode can be used -
Correct AnswerTo reduce the radiation
The slice angle is determined by the position of the patient's head and the tilt of the gantry. Having the patient tuck his chin down may allow a slice angle that avoids scanning through the eye, thereby reducing radiation exposure to the lens. The lens of the eye is known to be more sensitive to radiation
