    This document provides a CT scan protocol for reconstructive surgical planning in cases of craniosynostosis. The protocol outlines the patient positioning, scan parameters, reconstruction techniques, and required images. A helical scan of the head will be performed at 120kV with automatic mA and 0.5 second rotation time. Thin axial and coronal brain reformats and axial skull reformats will be generated along with a volume rendering of the skull and sutures for surgical planning.

    Craniosynostosis.
    Position/Landmark Supine head first or feet first
    Zero at outer canthus of eye.
    Topogram Direction Craniocaudal

    Respiratory Phase Any

    Scan Type Helical

    KV / mA / Rotation time (sec) 120kv / smart mA (50-350) / 0.5 sec


    Pitch / Speed (mm/rotation) 0.531:1 , 10.62mm
    Noise Index / ASiR / Dose Reduction 6.50 / 20 / 20%
    Detector width x Rows = Beam 0.625mm x 32 = 20mm
    Collimation
    Average Tube Output ctdi – 51.1 mGy

    Scan Delay

    2D/3D Technique Used DMPR 5mm x 5mm axial brain reformats in the glabello-meatal plane
    (auto-batch off), average mode, auto transferred to PACS
    DMPR 5mm x 5mm coronal brain reformats perpendicular to the glabello-
    meatal plane (auto-batch off), average mode, auto transferred to PACS
    DMPR 5mm x 5mm axial skull reformats in the glabello-meatal plane (auto-
    batch off), average mode, auto transferred to PACS
    Volume rendering of the skull and cranial sutures

    Comments: Recon 1 is a thin helical set of the brain for reformats in the desired plane. Recon 2 is a thin helical set
    of the skull for reformats in the desired plane.
    Images required in PACS Scouts, 5mm x 5mm axial brain, 5mm x 5mm coronal brain, 5mm x 5mm
