  • TLC scan 
  • Lateral scout following RV breath hold: locate RV scan endpoint 
  • RV scan

For the Reduced, dose modulated protocols:

  • Lateral scout at TLC: verify anteroposterior iso-centering and locate TLC scan endpoint 
  • AP scout at TLC: verify right-to-left iso-centering, and select scan start point 
  • TLC Scan 
  • Lateral scout at RV: locate RV scan endpoint 
  • RV Scan
