TLD measurements and Monte Carlo calculations of head and neck organ and effective doses for cone beam computed tomography using 3D Accuitomo 170

摘要

Objectives:In dentistry, the use of cone beam CT has steadily increased over the last few years. The aim of this study was to measure organ doses and to perform dose calculations based on Monte Carlo (MC) simulations to work out a basis for full three-dimensional (3D) dose calculations for any patient examination performed with the machine used in this study.
