Lower Extremities
Body Kernels
• As standard kernels for body tissue studies B31s or
B41s is recommended; softer images are obtained
with B20s.
• For higher sharpness, as is required e.g., in patient
protocols for cervical spine, shoulder, extremities,
thorax, lung, the kernels B50s, B60s, B70s are avail-
able.
• In case of 3D study only, the mAs value can be
reduced by 50%. Use kernel B20s and at least 50%
overlap in image reconstruction.
