    Tumors and follow up
    Brain CT
     Preparation : no special
     1- Explain the procedure to the patient and insure that the patient
    in stable position to avoid movement during the procedure
     2- Move any radiopaque material in the area of examination

     Pt. position : supine , head first (head in head rest) , Hands on


    the patients side and extend the legs, OML parallel to gantry .??

     Scout : lateral skull

     To determine the slice thickness, position and number on it and to


    control the position
     Divided into 2 group
     1- posterior fossa
     2- anterior fossa
