For the 2 reconstruction the Autoload into the MPR
Range on the 3D Card is activated. The images will
be automatically loaded into 3D, MPR, and a sagittal
MPRthick Range will pop up.
Please notice, if you are not satisfied with the Range
preset adapt the parameters to your needs and link them
to the series.

This protocol can also be used in case of suspected
tumor of the hypopharynx and larynx. It is recommen-
ded to acquire the images in E-phonation, and recon-
struct the images with 1 mm slice width and increment
of 0.7 mm for performing MPRs. This would help
differentiate tumor lesions from normal pharyngeal
mucosa.
