Radiation safety and quality assurance in US dental hygiene programmes, 1990

A. G. Farman and E. T. Parks
School of Dentistry, University of Louisville.

Conversion to faster receptor speed, the use of rectangular collimation and more frequent performance of quality assurance tests represent possible improvements for some establishments.
