  • Title: Quality assurance in orthodontic radiography.
    Author: Brown JE.
    Journal: Br J Orthod; 1995 Feb; 22(1):78-84. PubMed ID: 7786872.
    Abstract:
    The implementation of a Quality Assurance (QA) programme in orthodontic radiography is designed to improve the quality of the resultant radiographs and to reduce the number of repeat exposures. This is particularly desirable in orthodontic practice where the majority of patients are young and therefore more at risk from the detrimental effects of X-rays. A programme is described and QA tests are given that may be applied in the surgery. Particular emphasis is placed on QA measures for extraoral radiography, since this is frequently undertaken in the treatment of the orthodontic patient.
