Purpose
5825189-1EN r1 May 2019 Reference Protocol Guide 1-1

Purpose
This document provides a listing of the parameters provided in the reference protocols contained
under the GE tab selector. The protocols in Adult are based on parameters needed to scan an
average sized adult and take the clinical aim of the protocol into consideration. The protocols in
Pediatric are based on age in the Head and Orbit area, and in the rest of the body, use Color
Coding for Kids or the Feather Light patient sizing scheme. These protocols are designed as a
starting point. They should be reviewed with your Radiologist, Physicist, and Radiation Safety
Officer and revised as needed to meet the clinical needs of your department. The document is
divided into protocol categories available on the system. Each table lists the Protocol Number,
Protocol Name, Post Processing software associated with, Scan Type, SFOV, Pitch/Table Speed/
Row, Gantry Rotation Time, Slice Thickness, Beam Collimation, kV, mA/Min-Max/Noise Index/
Average mA, Recon Algorithm Type used, CTDIvol, DLP (mGy-cm), Scan Length, and Phantom
Type used and Description.
If the ASiR option is installed on the system, then there will be a % ASiR column listed in the table
indicating the ASiR value in the reference protocol.
Manual mA mode allows you to scan without enabling Auto mA mode. When building protocols,
make sure the mA value field contains a reasonable mA value in the event that AutomA is turned
off. In the GE reference protocols, the Average (Avg) mA provided in the tables within this
document are what is used in calculating the CTDI and DLP for protocols using AutomA or
SmartmA. The Avg mA value provided in the table is an estimate based on an average patient size
(32- 36 cm). The actual average mA for each image is calculated by using all of the mA values for
each scan rotation, as determined by Auto mA for the patient. The Auto mA Theory section in the
User Manual, Scan Chapter in the Technical Reference Manual, General Information Chapter
details how Auto mA does this calculation.

For the CT technologist who operates multiple scanner models, perhaps from multiple
manufacturers, the variability in names for important scan acquisition and reconstruction
parameters can lead to confusion, reduced comfort and an increased potential for error. The intent
of this CT terminology lexicon is to allow users to translate important CT acquisition and
reconstruction terms between different manufacturers' systems.
The following tables provide the SABMI (Scout Adjusted Body Mass Index) terminology for GE
and is a result of the AAPM CT Terminology working group. It identifies relevant terms from
established lexicon (e.g., Radlex and DICOM) and other relevant literature published.
The AAPM website will provide updates when changes in standardization of terminology occur.
Visit www.aapm.org, search CT Protocols, and select Lexicon for full listing of terminology across
various manufactures of CT equipment.
The generic descriptions or terms in the first column are intended to orient the user to the relevant
concepts; they are not consensus "preferred terms." The generic descriptions are not based on
any single existing or pending terminology standard; however the references cited below were
consulted in developing the generic descriptions.
A number of individuals and groups have advocated for terminology standardization in CT,
including at a March 30-31, 2010 FDA public meeting entitled "Device Improvements to Reduce
Unnecessary Radiation Exposure from Medical Imaging" (transcripts available at the FDA website:
www.fda.gov in Medical Devices). Participants proposed a cooperative effort among professional
organizations (AAPM, ASRT, ACR, etc.), industry, and the FDA.
Scan Acquisition and User Interface Basics

Table A-1 Scan acquisition and user interface terms
Generic Description GE Name

The portion of the user interface where scans are prescribed Exam Rx
Other portions of the user interface, such as were reconstructed images are viewed Desktop
CT localizer radiograph (i.e. the scanned projection radiograph, often acquired by Scout
the CT system to allow the user to prescribe the start and end locations of the scan
range)
Axial scan mode: Data acquisition while the patient table remains stationary; the Axial
table position may be incremented between X-ray exposures to collect data over a
longer z axis range.
Helical or Spiral scan mode: Data acquisition while the patient table is continuously Helical
moving along the z axis.
Dynamic scan mode - single detector width: Data acquisition at multiple time Cine or zero interval Axial
points over the same anatomic location(s) while the patient table remains stationary;
X-ray exposure can be continuous or intermittent
Table increment (mm) per 360 degree rotation of the X-ray tube (axial scan mode) Interval
Table feed per 360 degree rotation of the X-ray tube (helical scan mode) Speed (mm/rot)
Field of measurement: Diameter of the circular region within the scan plane over Scan Field of View (SFOV,
which projection data are collected. Nominally equal to the diameter of the primary cm)
beam at isocenter in the axial plane.
Tube current: Number of electrons accelerated across an X-ray tube per unit time, mA
expressed in units of milliampere (mA)
Tube potential: The electric potential applied across an X-ray tube to accelerate kV
electrons towards a target material, expressed in units of kilovolts (kV)
A-2 Reference Protocol Guide 5825189-1EN r1 May 2019

Pitch: Unitless parameter used to describe the table travel during helical CT; equal to Pitch
table travel (mm) per gantry rotation ÷ total nominal beam width (mm)
Automated patient instructions AutoVoice
Dose Modulation and Reduction Tools

Contrast Media Tools

Table A-5 Contrast media tool terms

Bolus tracking: Scanner feature to automatically initiate a prescribed axial, helical or Smart Prep
dynamic scan when a threshold level of contrast enhancement is reached at a
specified region of interest
Test Bolus: Scan mode used to measure the contrast transit time using a small Take axial scans at zero table
injection of contrast media feed and process with MIROI
Time-attenuation curve (TAC): Graph of the contrast enhancement versus time Smart Prep graph or MIROI
graph
Threshold: CT number (HU) where bolus tracking tool will trigger the system to Transition ROI Threshold
begin the scan
Scanner feature used to quantitatively evaluate the TAC MIROI (multiple image region
of interest)
Monitoring delay: Time from injection to the start of monitoring scans (Time 1 in Monitoring Delay
