Pan vs. FMX dosimetry

[Dr. B. W. (Pete) Benson]

Hello!

Effective and equivalent dose data  for panoramic is found in the
following article:

Frederiksen NL, Benson BW, Sokolowski TW.  Effective dose and risk
assessment from film tomography used for dental implant diagnostics.
Dentomaxillofac Radiol 23:123-127, 1994.

Effective and equivalent dose data for intraoral projection is found in
this article:

Cederberg RA, Frederiksen NL, Benson BW, Sokolowski TW.  Effect of the
geometry of the intraoral position-indicating device on effective dose.
Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod 84;101-109, 1997.

The findings in both of these papers are also expressed in terms of
risk.  I hope these citations are helpful,

Pete
