Plotting:
Cover the hyoid to the frontal sinus.
Considerations:
- Set phase R-L and compensate for aliasing.
- Saturation band inferior and superior to our FOV can help reduce artifacts.
Plotting:
Cover the nose through the brain stem.
Considerations:
- Set phase H-F and compensate for aliasing.
- Saturation band inferior and superior to our FOV can help reduce artifacts.
Plotting:
Angle to the mid sagittal plane and cover the hyoid and frontal sinus.
Considerations:
- Set phase A-P and compensate for aliasing.
- Saturation band inferior and superior to our FOV can help reduce artifacts.
