Rectangular Collimation Reduces Radiation Dose

Radiation safety in dental radiography

Typical Radiation skin entry exposures and effective dose equivalents are outlined in the table below: ... significantly reduces the volume of tissue exposed during intraoral radiography. ... It is estimated that the radiation dosage from use of both F-speed film and rectangular collimation is minimal, less than one-fifth that from D-speed film ...
