진단용방사선발생장치의 안전관리법에 의하면 치과 구내촬영용 X선발생기의 경우 조사통의 조사야 크기는 촬영면에서의 최대지름이 7 cm이하가 되게 기준 되어있다. 하지만 실제 두개부에 붙여서 촬영하는 근접촬영이기 때문에 X선 조사면적을 벗어날 염려가 없으며, 구내촬영에 사용되는 필름 또는 디지털 디텍터의 크기도 $3\times4cm^2$의 크기이기 때문에 훨씬 큰 편이며, 근거리 촬영에 따른 환자의 피부선량도 무시할 수 가 없다. 이에 조사통의 지름을 0.5 cm간격으로 줄이며, 환자선량, 해상력 및 화질의 영향을 알아본 결과 조사통 직경이 5 cm가 되어도 사용에 따른 큰 불편이 없으면서 환자선량 감소 및 사진의 대조도 증가 효과를 볼 수 있어 정책적으로 검토해볼 사항이라는 연구 결과를 얻었다

Purpose: To estimate the shape of root and pulp canal using a dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to evaluate the accuracy of imaging reformation. Materials and Methods: CBCT images were obtained with incisors, premolars, and molars as the destination by using PSR $9000N^{TM}$ Dental CT system (Asahi Roentgen Ind. Co., Ltd, Kyoto, Japan) and i-CAT (Imaging Sciences International, Inc, USA) cone beam CT unit that have different kind of detector and field of view, and compared these with the shape and the size of actual root and root canal. Results: When the measuring value of cone beam computed tomography concerning to each root's bucco-lingual diameter and mesio-distal diameter was compared with the value of the actual root, it reveals an error range $-0.49{\sim}+0.63$ mm at PSR900N and $-0.97{\sim}+1.14$ mm at i-CAT (P>0.05). It was possible to identify and measure PSR$9000N^{TM}$ Dental CT system to the limit $0.48{\pm}0.06mm$ (P>0.05) and i-CAT CBCT to the limit $0.86{\pm}0.09mm$ (P<0.05) on estimating the size and the shape of root canal. Two kinds of CBCT images revealed the useful reproducibility to estimate the shape of root, but there was the difference to estimate the shape of root according to apparatus. The reproducibility of root shape in the image of three-dimensions at PSR 900N is low such as 0.65 mm in a case of minute root canal. Conclusions: CBCT images revealed higher accuracy of the imaging reformation for root and pulp and clinically CBCT is a useful diagnostic tool for the assessment of root and canal. However, there are different qualities of imaging reformation according to CBCT apparatus and limitation of reproducibility for minute root canals.
