Abstract
The diagnostics are based on the principle of obtaining informative and high-quality images with minimal radiation exposure using radiation diagnostic methods: traditional radiography, multislice and cone-beam computed tomography.When conducting X-ray examinations, the main factors in reducing the risk of radiation exposure are the use of highly sensitive digital diagnostic image receivers, minimal exposure time, and a minimum number of images per examination. A lower current value and high anode voltage values, a minimum focal spot size, the placement of the tube as far as possible from the patient and the image receiver as close to the patient as possible, collimation of the radiation beam, and preference for a low radiation dose rate mode are also factors in reducing the risk of radiation exposure.Imaging of the craniovertebral region using cone beam computed tomography offers the opportunity to evaluate the bone structure of the region in detail, with an equal or less effective dose to the patient.
