Addressing CBCT Radiation Exposure

Given that the dose to a patient from a CBCT exam is about 10% of the dose of the comparable conventional CT exam, many CBCT providers, patients, and regulators have a false sense of security regarding the amount of ionizing radiation that patients and staff are exposed to. This is perpetuated by the fact that many CBCT providers do not actively monitor dose nor utilize proper shielding to track and limit the exposure to ionizing radiation. This webinar will discuss why CBCT imaging providers and patients should care about and implement basic safeguards to minimize exposure.
