Medically, Cranial Bone Defect is a medical condition characterized by the absence of bone tissue
in the cranial region due to trauma, for which a CT scan is required. This research aims to analyse
CT scan examination procedure for children with clinical cranial bone defects undertaken at
Radiology Department of Datu Beru Takengon Regional General Hospital.
The research design applied in this thesis is descriptive qualitative research with a case study
approach, conducted starting from October up to November 2024. As for the data collected for this
study are based on among the other things observation, documentation, and interviews.
Results: the findings show that there is no special preparation required for the head examination in
children. The CT scan procedure for children with clinical cranial bone defects utilizes paediatric
helical parameters with a head-first supine position, Tomogram AP Lateral, 100 kV, and 130 mA.
Furthermore, the slice thickness is set at 5 mm, and the Field of View (FOV) is focused on the
head area, excluding the neck to minimize radiation exposure.
Brain Window is used during image processing to visualize brain tissue and detect intracranial
haemorrhages such as epidural, subdural, and intracerebral hematomas, with WW 140 and WL 40.
Thereafter, the Bone Window is purposefully applied to view bone structures and detect skull
fractures, using WW 2000 and WL 350.
