Analysis shows cumulative effect on radiation exposure in cone-beam CT, indicating the need for better imaging protocols.
Patient arm positioning does not significantly affect CBCT radiation dose. BMI is a key determinant of radiation exposure, underscoring the need for size-specific imaging protocols. Despite differences in CBCT protocol radiation levels, total procedural radiation exposure remains similar due to the cumulative effect of fluoroscopy and DSA. Future research should focus on optimizing imaging strategies to minimize radiation exposure while maintaining procedural efficacy.
