Convex triangular vs. cylindrical field of view: how does the shape of the FOV affect radiation dose?

ConclusionConvex triangular fields of view delivered slightly lower effective doses than the cylindrical fields of view of similar dimensions in the R100 and X800 CBCT devices.Clinical relevanceUnderstanding the influence of the image geometry formation in effective dose allows optimization to reduce patient dose.
