[ctusers] Scatter from dental cone beam CT

[Anthony Reynolds]

Dear All,

 

We are the distributors for the i-CAT in the UK and are happy to provide
scatter plots.

 

As a rough guideline the shielding requirements will be broadly similar to
an OPG, i.e. 1mm of lead should be adequate in most cases.

 

I will reply to Ian separately off line.

 

All the best

Subject: [ctusers] Scatter from dental cone beam CT

 

Hello

 

Is anyone able to give me some scatter data for a dental cone beam CT unit,
such as the iCAT or Promax 3D?

I need to get a feel for the implications of installing such a unit  where
we now have an OPG.

 

Thanks
