An automated reading layout, or “hanging protocol,” for DSDECT (top row) and RSDECT (bottom row). Placed first is the 100–120kVp "workhorse" equivalent series (for the dual energy pancreatic parenchymal phase) and axial portal venous images (combined in the case of the RSDECT platform), followed by a high contrast series (50keV or iodine) and then portal venous multiplanar reconstructions. Coronal and portal venous phase, non-DECT are useful for evaluating for vascular involvement, and peritoneal disease, and are helpful for showing extent of disease at multidisciplinary conference. Lesser used series, such as localizer radiographs, dose injector information, radiation dose documentation, and thin section archival image series can be “pushed” to the end list of displayed series.
