Field of View Selection

By reducing the Field of View 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 Field of View (FoV) to be selected for children/adolescents, see the table below:

Field of View Selections

Standard Field of View	Recommended Field of View for Children/Adolescents
5x5	4x4
6x6	5x5
10x5	8x5
10x10	8x8
12x5	10x5
12x10	10x10
16x17	16x12
