A review of dental cone beam CT dose conversion coefficients.

CONCLUSION: The range of reported DCE values and spread with respect to field of view category suggests that DCE values that depend on FOV would provide more accurate effective dose estimates. Tube voltage was found to be a smaller factor in determining DCE. Reasonable values for DCE taking into account FOV size were obtained. There is considerable room for more work to be done to examine the behaviour of DCE with changes to patient age and dental CBCT imaging parameters. PMID: 33112658 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
