Patient Positioning in CT – Tips and Tricks
Proper patient positioning is crucial for high-quality CT scans and to minimise radiation exposure. It is important to consider these factors when performing a CT scan. CT scans may require “non-standard patient positioning,” such as for obese patients, those unable to lie on their backs, or for CT exams of the elbow in patients who cannot position their arm above their head. Patients with a hunched back may also require special positioning. Every day in CT, we face numerous challenges. This workshop will provide you with practical tips and tricks on patient positioning in CT.
This educational talk offers 1 CPD credit.
