Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), or digital volumetric tomography, emerged in the late 1990s.
  • CBCT offers high-resolution cross-sectional imaging for all dental specialties.
  • No European-level suspension levels existed for this emerging dental imaging modality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish European suspension levels for dental CBCT equipment.
  • To address the lack of standardized guidelines for this advanced imaging technology.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review of scientific and professional publications was conducted.
  • Existing national guidelines for dental CBCT were analyzed.
  • Expert opinions from the European Academy of dento-maxillo-facial radiology members were incorporated.

Main Results:

  • A preliminary set of suspension levels for dental CBCT has been developed.
  • These levels address key equipment aspects: X-ray tube and generator, dosimetry, field-of-view, alignment, and image quality.

Conclusions:

  • The devised suspension levels provide a foundational framework for dental CBCT equipment testing.
  • Continuous review and updates are recommended as practical experience with CBCT equipment testing grows.
