observed. The statutory radiation protection equipment must be used. In
order to reduce radiation exposure, Sirona recommends using bismuth or
lead shields or aprons, especially for pediatric patients.
During an exposure, the operator should move as far away from the X-ray
tube assembly as the coiled cable of the manual release permits.
With the exception of the patient, no other persons without radiation
protection are allowed to stay in the room during an exposure. In
exceptional cases, a third person may provide assistance, but not the
practice staff. Visual contact with the patient and the unit must be
maintained throughout the entire exposure.
In case of malfunctions, cancel the exposure immediately by letting go of
the exposure release button.
NOTICE
Information about radiation protection for Canada
3D imaging should not be used for screening examinations. 3D imaging
examinations must be clinically warranted and each exam must be
justified by demonstrating that the benefits outweigh the risks.
NOTICE
Where it is likely that evaluation of soft tissues will be required as part of
the patient's radiological assessment, the appropriate imaging should
be conventional medical CT or MR, rather than 3D imaging using Cone
Beam technology.
