Abstract:This study aimed to estimate scattered radiation and its spatial distribution around three Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) devices, in order to determine relatively safe positions for an operator to stand if needed to be inside the CBCT room. The following devices were tested: Morita Accuitomo (CBCT1), Newtom Giano HR (CBCT2), Newtom VGi (CBCT3). Scattered radiation measurements were performed using different kVp, mA and Field of View (FOV) options. An anthropomorphic phantom (NATHANIA) was placed inside … Show more
