Table 4.

Large Body SFOV, 80 mm coverage, helical pitch ≤ 0.992.

Patient size Preset Family (Scan FOV, focal spot, coverage) Rot time (s) Pitch Min CTDIvol (mGy) Max CTDIvol (mGy)
Small Large Body, Large, 80 mm 0.5 0.992 4.7 12.2
Medium Large Body, Large, 80 mm 0.6 0.508 10.9 28.4
Large Large Body, Large, 80 mm 1 0.508 17.2 45.5
Extra large Large Body, XLarge, 80 mm 1 0.508 49.7 53.7

This profile is designed for abdomen and pelvis protocols, where patient motion is not an issue but there is concern about artifacts from helical pitches larger than 1.
