"Acquisition"
"The CT localiser radiograph, also known as scanogram, scout and surview, is the name given to the initial images obtained at the start of a CT before the main volume is obtained. These initial images have two main functions: they ensure that the correct anatomy is being covered by the CT and permit the software to optimise the radiation used to obtain the images."
