Establishment of national diagnostic reference levels in dental cone beam computed tomography in Switzerland.

CONCLUSIONS: Large ranges of FOV and PKA were found for a given indication, demonstrating the importance of establishing DRLs as well as FOV recommendations in view of optimizing the present practice. For now, only DRLs for dental and maxillofacial could be defined; because of a lack of ENT data, no DRL values for ENT practices could be derived from this survey.
