[Evaluation and choice of imaging protocols on the Elekta XVI(®) kilovoltage cone-beam computed tomography imaging system.]

CONCLUSION: The study showed that theoretical values proposed by the manufacturer could be used to estimate the average dose delivered to the patient by the kV-CBCT imaging system. The analysis of all the results led to the implementation of a procedure allowing to optimize and account for the dose delivered to the patient by the CBCT imaging system and to report it in the patient folder.
