Justification The availability and findings of previous radiographs The specific objectives of the exposure in relation to the history and examination of the patient The total potential diagnostic benefit to the individual The radiation risk associated with the radiographic examination The efficacy, benefits and risk of available alternative techniques having the same objective but involving no, or less, exposure to ionizing radiation. 10

In deciding the extent of the controlled area it is usually satisfactory if the controlled area is chosen to be: Within the primary x-ray beam until it has been sufficiently attenuated by distance or Shielding and within 1.5m of the x-ray tube and the patient in any other direction. 15
16 The radiation protection advisor is able to provide advice on the design of the x-ray room or the controlled area. Either the room has to be large enough to allow the operator to stand well outside the controlled area, in other words, preferably 2m or maybe more from the x-ray tube and the patient, and for sure well out of the direction of the primary beam. If distance is not sufficient to provide staff protection it is important to utilise shielding. The correct amount of shielding that is needed to secure the safety of staff within any controlled area is determined by the x- ray beam Ionising Radiations Regulations 1999 IRR st January 2000 Replaced the Ionising Radiation Regulations 1985 Safety of workers and the public Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations 2000 IR(ME)R th May 2000 Replaced the Ionising Radiation (Protection of Persons Undergoing Medical Examination or Treatment) Regulations 1988 Safety of patients Referrer Practitioner IR(ME)R 2000 Operator Employer (Legal Person) 16

21 Justification is both ethical and legal requirement Training 16, 17, 18 Reporting 7 Dentists responsible for CBCT facilities should undergo a period of additional theoretical and practical training that has been validated by an academic institution (University or equivalent). Where national specialist qualifications in DMFR exist, the design and delivery of CBCT training programmes should involve a DMF Radiologist CBCT images must undergo a thorough clinical evaluation ( radiological report ) of the entire image dataset If is has been imaged it must be reported on! JM Reporting 19 Dento-alveolar CBCT images Radiological report should be made by a specially trained DMF Radiologist or, where this is impracticable, an adequately trained general dental practitioner Reporting 20 Craniofacial CBCT images Radiological report should be made by a specially trained DMF Radiologist or by a Medical Radiologist 21
