Extended FoV
SOMATOM Emotion 16/6-slice configuration offers the
extended field of view. The range can be individually
adapted by the user from 50 cm up to 70 cm.
To use this feature you have to select the extended
FoV checkbox on the Recon subtask card. The default
setting is 65 cm, but can be modified.
Extended FoV can be used with each scan protocol.
The extended FoV value should be adapted carefully
to the exact patient size in order to achieve best possi-
ble image quality outside the standard scan field.
