Nationwide Survey of Dental Offices: Findings and Trends in Radiological Practice
The total US exam volume and per-capita exam rates for intraoral imaging have increased from 1993 to 1999; however, patient radiation dose (as measured by skin-entrance air kerma, Ka,e) decreased substantially. A major contributor to that observed reduction in radiation dose is the now-prevalent use of digital imaging methods for intraoral radiography.
