Absorbed and effective doses from cone beam volumetric imaging for implant planning

Abstract: The absorbed doses of the 3D Accuitomo of the organs in the primary beam ranged from 1-5 mGy, and were several to ten times lower than other doses. The effective dose of the 3D Accuitomo ranged from 18 muSv to 66 muSv, and was an order of magnitude smaller than the others. In conclusion, these results show that the dose in the 3D Accuitomo is lower than the CB MercuRay and much less than MDCT.

“…Consequently, the doses measured at those points should be much less than the upper estimates of the foetal dose in the present study, as measured at the liver level. In the study by Okano et al, 21 the uterine doses in CBCT were lower than the CBCT doses in the present study, and closer to the doses in intraoral, panoramic and cephalometric examinations.…”

“…This may be due to high uncertainties in Ludlow's 17 effective dose calculations from low doses, since many organs receive doses close to zero. The maximum breast doses in CBCT measured by Okano et al 21,22 were about half the maximum breast doses in CBCT of the present study, excluding the implant mode in CBCT, for which the dose was double. An exception in the otherwise uniform exposure parameters was in the study by Okano et al; 21 the tube voltage in implant mode was 120 kV instead of the more typical dental values of 65-90 kV common in the other studies ( Table 1).…”

“…Moreover, the level of radiation exposure to the head and neck region is less than one -seventh of that from a conventional CT scan 9) . Compared to MDCT, CBCT has better spatial resolution, but limited contrast resolution.…”

“…Cross-sectional information can be acquired with conventional medical computed tomography (CT) [4] . Despite the usefulness of medical CT in implant imaging [7][8][9] , the high cost, limited availability, and relatively high radiation exposure make its routine use impractical [5][6][7][8][9] . Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a relatively newer 3D imaging modality specifically designed for oral and maxillofacial regions [9][10][11] .…”
