Dose distributions in adult and child head phantoms for panoramic and cone beam computed tomography imaging of the temporomandibular joint

ConclusionsThe absorbed dose within all radiosensitive tissues varied considerably in relation to examination type, x-ray unit, clinical settings, and patient age. The mean doses were smaller when using 2 (bilateral) 4 × 4 cm volumes than with use of one 14 × 5 cm volume.
