Purpose: The current study investigates the feasibility of a platform for a nationwide dose monitoring system for
dental radiography. The essential elements for an unerring system are also assessed.
Materials and Methods: An intraoral radiographic machine with 14 X-ray generators and five sensors, 45
panoramic radiographic machines, and 23 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) models used in Korean dental
clinics were surveyed to investigate the type of dose report. A main server for storing the dose data from each
radiographic machine was prepared. The dose report transfer pathways from the radiographic machine to the main
sever were constructed. An effective dose calculation method was created based on the machine specifications and
the exposure parameters of three intraoral radiographic machines, five panoramic radiographic machines, and four
CBCTs. A viewing system was developed for both dentists and patients to view the calculated effective dose. Each
procedure and the main server were integrated into one system.
Results: The dose data from each type of radiographic machine was successfully transferred to the main server
and converted into an effective dose. The effective dose stored in the main server is automatically connected to a
viewing program for dentist and patient access.
Conclusion: A patient radiation dose monitoring system is feasible for dental clinics. Future research in cooperation
with clinicians, industry, and radiologists is needed to ensure format convertibility for an efficient dose monitoring
system to monitor unexpected radiation dose.
