FAQs

What is the difference between Topogram, Scanogram, Scout View, and Localizer?

These terms generally refer to the same type of preliminary CT projection image, although terminology varies between CT manufacturers, hospitals, and imaging centres.

Can children undergo a CT Scout View?

Yes, when clinically necessary. Because children are more sensitive to radiation, appropriate pediatric protocols and dose optimization are used.

What body parts can be included in a CT Scout View?

A Scout View can be obtained for almost any CT examination, including the head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, spine, and limbs, depending on the examination being planned.

Do I need any preparation for a CT Scout View?

Usually, no special preparation is required for the Scout View itself. Preparation may be necessary for the diagnostic CT examination that follows, depending on whether contrast, fasting, or another protocol is required.
