[Establishment of Diagnostic Reference Levels for Dental Radiography in 2023].

ABSTRACT: Recent studies have focused on radiation exposure in patients undergoing medical imaging examinations utilizing ionizing radiation. Striving for optimal radiation doses according to the principles of justification and optimization is essential. In the Republic of Korea (ROK), diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) for various imaging devices have been in place since 2007, and DRLs for intraoral and panoramic radiography were established following a nationwide survey in 2009. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) DRLs were established for the first time in 2018. The status of diagnostic radiography equipment used in dentistry was assessed to select the study subjects. A survey form was developed to compare the DRL values for dental radiography with published in ROK in 2019. We investigated DRLs
