Brain
Routine scans of the brain usually begin at the base of the
skull and continue superiorly. Depending on the clinical
indication, the scans may be done without IV contrast
enhancement, with IV contrast enhancement, or without
and with IV contrast enhancement. The images included
below include IV contrast enhancement.

Sinuses
Sinus screening is intended as an inexpensive, accurate,
and low radiation dose method for confirming the presence of inflammatory sinonasal disease. If confirmed and
the patient will then have endoscopic sinus surgery, the
coronal images provide a roadmap for the surgeon.
When the clinical indication is recurrent or chronic sinusitis, the study is done without IV contrast enhancement
and scanning is done in the coronal plane. Other clinical
indications may require the administration of IV contrast
or additional scans in the axial plane.

Temporal Bones
The organs of hearing and balance are located in the petrous ridge of the temporal bone. Because these organs are
tiny, thin slices are used. Once the scan data are acquired,
the two petrosal bones are reconstructed separately so
that the display field of view can be reduced to ensure
optimal resolution. Most protocols include scans in both
the coronal and axial planes; the use of IV contrast varies
according to the clinical indication.

NECK
Unless contraindicated, CT examinations of the neck are
done with the IV administration of contrast media. Artifacts caused by dental work often obscure surrounding
structures at some levels. Some facilities split the data acquisition into two groups so that the gantry can be angled
to reduce artifact. However, many MDCT systems do not
allow the gantry to be angled in the helical mode, so this
is not always possible.

SPINE
CT of the spine is most often performed without IV contrast media administration. However, scans of the spine
are often obtained after intrathecal contrast material is
given for a myelography study.
