    Objectives: This study evaluates two methods for calculating effective dose, CT dose index (CTDI) and dose–area product (DAP) for a cone beam CT (CBCT) device: 3D Accuitomo at field size 30×40 mm and 3D Accuitomo FPD at field sizes 40×40 mm and 60×60 mm.
  4. phantom
    something existing in perception only
    Methods: CTDI100 measurements were performed in a CT head dose phantom with a pencil ionization chamber connected to an electrometer.
  5. chamber
    a natural or artificial enclosed space
    Methods: CTDI100 measurements were performed in a CT head dose phantom with a pencil ionization chamber connected to an electrometer.
  6. rotation
    the act of turning as if on an axis
    The rotation centre was placed in the centre of the phantom and also, to simulate a patient examination, in the upper left cuspid region.
  7. simulate
    reproduce someone's behavior or looks
    The rotation centre was placed in the centre of the phantom and also, to simulate a patient examination, in the upper left cuspid region.
  8. transmission
    communication by means of sent signals
    The DAP value was determined with a plane-parallel transmission ionization chamber connected to an electrometer.
  9. conversion
    the act of changing from one use or function to another
    A conversion factor of 0.08 mSv per Gy cm2 was used to determine the effective dose from DAP values.
  10. factor
    anything that contributes causally to a result
    A conversion factor of 0.08 mSv per Gy cm2 was used to determine the effective dose from DAP values.
  11. values
    beliefs of a group in which they have emotional investment
    A conversion factor of 0.08 mSv per Gy cm2 was used to determine the effective dose from DAP values.
  12. base
    lowest support of a structure
    Based on data from 90 patient examinations, DAP and effective dose were determined.
  13. data
    a collection of facts from which conclusions may be drawn
    Based on data from 90 patient examinations, DAP and effective dose were determined.
  14. asymmetric
    characterized by lack of balance in the arrangement of parts
    Results: CTDI100 measurements showed an asymmetric dose distribution in the phantom when simulating a patient examination.
  15. solve
    find the answer to or understand the meaning of
    It has a high potential for solving many different diagnostic problems in dental radiology and will consequently change the panorama of examinations and exposed age groups.
  16. diagnostic
    concerned with identifying the nature or cause of something
    It has a high potential for solving many different diagnostic problems in dental radiology and will consequently change the panorama of examinations and exposed age groups.
  17. consequently
    as a result
    It has a high potential for solving many different diagnostic problems in dental radiology and will consequently change the panorama of examinations and exposed age groups.
  18. expose
    make visible or apparent
    It has a high potential for solving many different diagnostic problems in dental radiology and will consequently change the panorama of examinations and exposed age groups.
  19. appropriate
    suitable for a particular person, place, or situation
    When selecting an appropriate examination technique for each patient for a particular diagnostic task, the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle should be followed.1, 2 Hence evaluations of both radiation dose and diagnostic accuracy are of the utmost importance.
  20. technique
    a practical method or art applied to some particular task
    When selecting an appropriate examination technique for each patient for a particular diagnostic task, the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle should be followed.1, 2 Hence evaluations of both radiation dose and diagnostic accuracy are of the utmost importance.
  21. achievable
    capable of existing or taking place or proving true
    When selecting an appropriate examination technique for each patient for a particular diagnostic task, the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle should be followed.1, 2 Hence evaluations of both radiation dose and diagnostic accuracy are of the utmost importance.
  22. evaluation
    the act of ascertaining or judging the quality of
    When selecting an appropriate examination technique for each patient for a particular diagnostic task, the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle should be followed.1, 2 Hence evaluations of both radiation dose and diagnostic accuracy are of the utmost importance.
  23. reproduce
    make a copy or equivalent of
    The reproduced volume, exposure parameters, radiation dose and its distribution, and design differ among the many CBCT brands.
  24. exposure
    the state of being exposed to harm
