Proposed ANSI/¸£Àû¼§ÊÓƵStandard No. 1098, Dentistry - Quality Assurance for Cone Beam Computed Tomographic (CBCT) Systems
Developed by ¸£Àû¼§ÊÓƵStandards Working Group 11.14: Digital Imaging
There are essentially two components involved with any CBCT imaging system: the x-ray source with the digital image acquisition device (usually a flat panel detector made of amorphous silicone or solid-state sensor) or image intensifier and acquisition-software) and the image display device (computer, monitor, and display-software) and the image viewing environment. These components are addressed in this standard.
