a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio
(cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM
and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically
with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF
transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the
measured field strength outside the shielded location in which the model
PaX-i3D(PHT-6500) is used exceeds 3V/m, the model PaX-i3D(PHT-6500)
should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as relocating the
model PaX-i3D(PHT-6500) or using a shielded location with a higher RF
shielding effectiveness and filter attenuation.

Positioning the pediatric dental patient
Use a cotton roll to fill in missing primary teeth or partially erupted permanent
teeth. Adapt adult recommendation for direction of laser light beam guide for use
with primary teeth. Observe laser light beam guide on both the right and left sides.
1. Use laser light beam guide to locate mid sagittal plane. Direct patient focus to mirror
reflection. Affix decal to mirror to aid patient in maintaining the correct position throughout
exposure.
2. Move chinrest into a position that is slightly higher than the patient’s chin height before
requesting that the patient place chin onto the rest. Direct the patient to assume a position
that resembles the erect stance of a soldier.

3. Direct the patient to stick out the chest while dropping the chin down. While
holding the unit handles for stability, direct the patient to take a half step in
toward the vertical column of the X-Ray device into a position that feels as if
he/she is slightly leaning backward.
4. Direct the patient to the lips closed around the bite block during the
exposure.
5. Direct the patient to swallow and note the flat position of the tongue.
Request that the patient suck in the cheeks, pushing the tongue into the
correct flat position against the palate and maintain this position throughout
the exposure.

radiographs in children, P40-48. European Journal of Pediatric Dentistry
1/2003
Guidelines in dental radiology are designed to avoid unnecessary

exposure to X-radiation and to identify individuals who may benefit from
a radiographic examination. Every prescription of radiographs should be
based on an evaluation of the individual patient benefit. Due to the relatively
high frequency of caries among 5 year old children it is recommended to
consider dental radiography for each child even without any visible caries
or restorations. Furthermore, radiography should be considered at 8-9
years of age and then at 12-14, that is 1-2 years after eruption of premolars
and second molars. Additional bitewing controls should be based on an
overall assessment of the caries activity/risk. The high-risk patient should
be examined radiographically annually, while a 2-3 years interval should be
considered when caries activity/risk is low. Routine survey by radiographs,
except for caries, has not been shown to provide sufficient information to
be justified considering the balance between cost (radiation and resources)
and benefit.

FRANICH, PH.D.: ASSESSMENT OF OUT-OF-FIELD DOSES IN
RADIOTHERAPY OF BRAIN LESIONS IN CHILDREN, Int. J. Radiation
Oncology Biol. Phys., Vol. -, No. -, pp. 1–7, 2010
To characterize the out-of-field doses in pediatric radiotherapy and to

identify simple methods by which out-of-field dose might be minimized, with
a view to reducing the risk of secondary cancers
Out-of-field doses to pediatric patients can be minimized by using simple

treatment options, such as using the single-energy mode linear accelerator
rather than the multimode, orienting the couch and collimator such that the
patient lies along the x-plane and avoiding fields directed along the trunk of
the body

organ and effective doses in dental cone beam computed tomography
Dental CBCT has been associated with higher radiation risk to the patients
compared to conventional dental X-Ray imaging. Several studies have
investigated the radiation doses involved in dental CBCT for adults but
none has looked into pediatric doses. This study estimates the organ and
effective doses to two pediatric tissue-equivalent phantoms using thermo
luminescent dosimeters for three dental CBCT units and six imaging
protocols. The doses to the thyroid, salivary glands and brain ranged from
0.068mSv to 1.131mSv, 0.708mSv to 2.009mSv and 0.031mSv to 1.584mSv
respectively. The skin and red bone marrow have received much lower
doses than the other three organs. The effective doses ranged from 0.022
mSv to 0.081 mSv. The effective doses calculated in this study were much
higher than these of panoramic X-Ray imaging but lower than conventional
CT

Objective: The purpose of this study was to clarify radiation dose levels
for children of 6 years of age undergoing head and neck multi-detector CT
(MDCT) examinations.
Materials and methods: Radiation doses were measured with small-sized

silicon-photodiode dosimeters that were implanted at various tissue and
organ positions within a standard 6-year-old anthropomorphic phantom.
Organ and effective doses of brain CT were evaluated for 19 protocols in
nine hospitals on various (2–320 detector rows) MDCT scanners.
Results: The maximum value of mean organ dose in brain CT was 34.3
mGy for brain. Maximum values of mean doses for the radiosensitive lens
and thyroid were 32.7 mGy for lens in brain CT and 17.2 mGy for thyroid in
neck CT. seventy-fifth percentile of effective dose distribution in brain CT
was approximately the same as the diagnostic reference level (DRL) in the
2003 UK survey.
