Comparison of dosimetry methods for panoramic radiography: thermoluminescent dosimeter measurement versus personal computer-based Monte Carlo method calculation

摘要

Objective. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the patient radiation dose based on panoramic radiography and calculated with personal computer-based Monte Carlo (PCXMC) software compared with thermoluminescent dosimetry (TLD) measurement. We also proposed appropriate input values for dose-determining factors in PCXMC.
