- 1. Department of Medical Physics, Bharathiar University, Coimbatore (India)
Description
People with the dental problem are an increasing number in present days because of their lifestyle and hereditary. Same as general diagnostic equipment, dental medicine has also come up with diagnostic equipment with advanced features in it. Orthopantomography (OPG) is imaging equipment used to image the teeth structures. The dentist uses this equipment to find the hidden dental structures, malignant or benign masses, bone loss, and cavities of the human mouth. Quality Assurance (QA) is an important aspect when we talk about radiation procedure imaging technology. So, QA protocol to be carried out in accordance with Atomic Energy regulatory body (AERB) and American Association Physicist in Medicine (AAPM) task group report no. 175 which will ensure the safety procedure of the equipment handling
