1.The mentioned information is all about the protocol of the scan. 2.The dose of the CT abdomen with selection of kv and mA according to the patients body weight. 3.Scout is what taken as planning - it looks like a x-ray which will help to plan the area. 4.Also helps in gross evaluation of the pathology and its location - which can be further evaluated. 5. Helical CT is type of the CT and x-ray tube rotation while taking the scan.
