Table 2.

In-air exposure, exposure rate, effective dose, and effective dose rate, assuming standard shielding apparel (Pb apron etc.) at locations about the table and throughout the operating room. The exposure (mR/mGy) and effective dose (mSv/mGy) are per unit absolute dose from a single CBCT scan. The corresponding exposure rate (mR/min) and effective dose rate (mSv/min) correspond to the rate during the scan.
