Cone Beam CT for Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology ( Evidence Based Guidelines)

Abstract

The guidelines were part of the output of the SEDENTEXCT research project, supported by the Seventh Framework Programme of Euratom. It is not common practice to publish results of Euratom research projects in the Radiation Protection series of the Commission, which is primarily intended to facilitate the implementation of the relevant Euratom legislation. The present guidelines, however, focus on the practical implementation of the main elements of the radiation protection system, i.e. the justification of patient exposure and the optimisation of patient and staff protection. Their publication in the Radiation Protection received the strong support of the Group of scientific experts referred to in Article 31 of the Euratom Treaty
