Project Management

Stepp 1: How to secure optimal scanning results



  • Patient scans must be current and precise.
  • The spatial resolution of the scans should range between 0.75 and 1.25 mm but not exceed 2 mm.
  • It is essential to avoid patient movement during the scanning process.
  • Scans must be performed in upright position, making sure that the angle of view (i.e. beam path or optical axis) is parallel to the plane of occlusion. This prevents artifacts.
  • The target area of the scan is kept small but should include the regions 2 cm above and below the selected area. The outer contours of the patient’s head must be included as well.
  • Save the entire scan (incl. all sub-files) as a DICOM file.
