Hints
• Due to its iodine content, the thyroid gland is hyper-
dense in relation to the neighboring muscles both
before and after an IV CM injection. For displays of
the parotid, thyroid or the floor of the mouth, the
slice thickness should be < 5 mm and the length of
the range should be adapted to match the anatomic
region.
• Target the FoV to ensure adequate coverage of the
region of interest in the upper neck & middle neck
levels as well as to include the axilla in the lower
neck level if required.
