Tips

• Children, who are more than 6 years old, should

be scanned with an adult protocol as the skull by this
time is fully grown.

• When bone structure is of interest, use kernel C60s

for image reconstruction.

Posterior Fossa Optimization Filter

PFO: To reduce beam-hardening artifacts in head
images, particularly in the base of the skull, use the
Posterior Fossa Optimization (PFO) filter.
