Description

The objective of this study was the evaluation of a dental X radiation system intensity variation studying the linearity of the air kerma rate in relation to the exposure time. This study was performed in a Dabi Atlante dental X radiation system. For the exposure time measurements the cone spacer was positioned perpendicular to the detector and the time was varied from 0 to 1.5 s. The air kerma measurements were made in the same conditions for FDD=20.0 cm and 27.5 cm. After that, the obtained values were plotted and a linear adjust was done for each set of measurements. The results showed that the maximum variation obtained was 7% for the third group of measurements for the exposure time of 1.5 s. This variation is less than the recommended limit of 20% published by the Brazilian Health Ministry Regulation 453. (author)
