What portion of the patient can be visualized through the process of retrospective reconstruction -
correct answer ✔✔Only parts of the patient within the scan-field-of-view
Acquisition thickness refers to the - correct answer ✔✔thickness of active detective rows
CTA imaging of the heart is sometimes performed with the CT scanner in the volume acquisition mode.
This means that the: - correct answer ✔✔Scan data is acquired in one rotation of the x-ray tube
Volume scanning is the preferred way to image the heart
What portion of the patient is processed for viewing on the technologist computer monitor: - correct
answer ✔✔Any part of the patient within the display-field-of -view

- Data in the SFOV is sent to the radiologist
- Data in the SFOV is saved on the CT computer system
- The size of the SFOV is set by the technologist using the scout images - correct answer ✔✔The SFOF is
larger than the DFOV
Data in the SFOV is saved on the CT computer system
