This doctoral project attempts to find an optimal balance between the radiation dose and image quality for dental Cone Beam CT (CBCT). Therefore, the project consists of two parts. In a first part, a correct description and quantification of the radiation dose is investigated, using different methods: measurements on (adult and paediatric) anthropomorphic and cylindrical phantoms using thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) and ion chambers, TLD ...
