Field of View (FoV) Selection

By reducing the FoV for 3D X-ray imaging on children or adolescents, you are reducing the exposed area, and this reduces the dose received by the patient.

For a recommendation on the FoV to be selected for children/adolescents, see the table below:

 

Standard FoV

Recommended FoV for Children/Adolescents

5x5

4x4

10x5
