Does the dental panoramic machine need lead clothes?

Need.

Radiography is a common X-ray examination method for dentists. Since it is an X-ray examination method, it will also produce a certain radiation dose, which is harmful to the human body. Commonly used X-ray examination methods include apical film, panoramic film, CBCT and so on. The radiation dose of apical slice is about 5 microsieverts; Panoramic film is about 15-25 microsieverts; CBCT is about 30-300 microsieverts. According to the data measured by relevant experts, taking a root tip slice is similar to eating 10 bananas, so X-ray examination has some radiation, but its radiation has dropped to a very low level, and it will not cause obvious harm once or twice occasionally. But when filming, you should still wear a lead dress or a lead rubber skirt around your abdomen according to the doctor's advice. Children should wear lead clothes or skirts when filming to avoid radiation damage to gonads and bone marrow. Wear a lead scarf to protect the thyroid gland.
