摘要：Purpose
The aim of this study was to compare the effective dose for imaging of mandible between multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). An MDCT with low dose technique was also compared with them.
Materials and Methods
Thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) chips were placed at 25 organ sites of an anthropomorphic phantom. The mandible of the phantom was exposed using 2 different types of MDCT units (Somatom Sensation 10 for standard-dose MDCT, Somatom Emotion 6 for low-dose MDCT) and 3 different CBCT units (AZ3000CT, Implagraphy, and Kavo 3D eXaM). The radiation absorbed dose was measured and the effective dose was calculated according to the ICRP 2007 report.
Results
The effective dose was the highest for Somatom Sensation 10 (425.84 µSv), followed by AZ3000CT (332.4 µSv), Somatom Emotion 6 (199.38 µSv), and 3D eXaM (111.6 µSv); it was the lowest for Implagraphy (83.09 µSv). The CBCT showed significant variation in dose level with different device.
Conclusion
The effective doses of MDCTs were not significantly different from those of CBCTs for imaging of mandible. The effective dose of MDCT could be markedly decreased by using the low-dose technique.
