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, the kernels B50s, B60s, B70s are available.

The special kernels are mostly used for ”physical” mea-
surements with phantoms, e.g., for adjustment proce-
dures (S80s), for constancy and acceptance tests
(S80s, U90s), or for specification purposes (U90s).
