Hints
• For lung cancer evaluation, this protocol can be com-
bined with protocol Neck Routine or you can use the
protocol NeckThorax.
• Low dose lung images are usually evaluated using
lung window setting. Soft tissue/bone window set-
tings may be used to visualize the presence of calci-
fications in the nodules.
• It is essential to use the same protocol for follow-up
studies to check for progression.
• CARE Dose 4D is off as default because for syngo
Lung CARE protocols the lowest mAs values are
used.
For further information on the scan protocols and how
to use syngo Lung CARE, please refer to the Applica-
tion Guide "Clinical Applications".
