Thorax Multi-Slice Computer Tomography (MSCT) Examination Technique In The Case Of Mediastinum Tumor At Radiology Instalation Of Semarang District General Hospital

Thorax Multi-slice computer tomography (MSCT) Scan Examination requires contrast medium to image the difference in density with the surrounding tissue. The contrast images is largely determined by the volume of contrast, injection rate, and injection methods. Thorax CT Scan is performed by slice thickness of 5-10 mm. Meanwhile, it should use the routine slice thickness of 10 mm. Slice thickness of 8-10 mm of coronal and sagittal images require reconstruction by thin slices of 1-1.5 mm and subsequently by applying 3D.This is to analyze the volume of contrast and slice thickness used in the examination of tumor mediastinum by thorax MSCT examination
