National dose survey and discussion on establishing diagnostic reference levels for dental imaging in Korea
The DRLs established through this study were found to be significantly increased, especially in adult and paediatric panoramic radiographs and paediatric CBCT images, compared with those in previous surveys; moreover, they were higher than those in other countries. The findings of this study can serve as a basis for national dose reduction efforts.
