Each new assistant must be trained by a doctor on how to properly use the CBCT scanner.
Upon completion, the Licensed Dental Radiologic Technologist CBCT Exemption Form must
be completed and signed by the appropriate people. A copy will be put in the employee’s
permanent file and a copy will also be put into this manual.

Tests Performed and Required Frequencies
In order to maintain the quality assurance protocol, there are a number of tests that need to be
performed on the CBCT scanner. The tests and associated frequency in which they are to be
performed are listed in the table below. When performing each test, the corresponding
worksheet in the QA Log Book (green) is to be completed. The staff member completing each
test is to date and initial the top of the worksheet.
The following tests need to be executed by a qualified and licensed staff member:
The following tests need to be executed annually by a qualified Medical Physicist.
The following tests do not need to be performed, as they do not pertain to Oral Surgery Group.
These tests are for offices that use film.

Rules for Radiation Safety
1. Only individuals required for the medical procedure, for training, or for equipment
maintenance shall be in the radiographic room during an exposure.
2. Only staff members and doctors with a New Jersey Radiological License in good
standing will be permitted to operate CBCT scanner and position a patient for
radiographic exposure.
3. Individuals present during the radiographic exposure shall wear a protective apron of
at least 0.25mm lead equivalent during every exposure.
4. When a patient must be provided with auxiliary support during a radiation exposure
and mechanical holding devices are insufficient, the following procedures shall be
followed:
a. The person holding the patient shall be protected with a lead apron of at least
0.25mm lead equivalent.
b. No licensed practitioner shall order or otherwise cause a New Jersey licensed
technologist to hold a patient during radiation exposure, except in a life
threatening situation.
c. No person shall be employed, routinely assigned, or required to hold a patient
during a radiographic exposure.
d. If a person must be held during the x-ray exposure, non-radiation workers such
as aides, orderlies, nurses, or members of the patient’s family may be asked to
perform this duty.
5. Gonadal shielding of not less than 0.5mm lead equivalent shall be used on a patient
during radiographic procedures.
6. On units that do not have positive beam limitation, the operator shall collimate x-ray
beam to ensure that the field does not extend beyond the image receptor.
7. The radiographic field shall be restricted to the area of clinical interest as far as
practical.

8. A mirror attached to the adjacent doorway is the object employed to observe the
patient during the x-ray.
9. Observation of the patient shall be made from the shielded area.
10. During radiographic exposure, the operator shall stand behind the protective barrier.
11. No person shall permit or arrange for the intentional irradiation of a human being
except for the purpose of medical diagnosis or treatment.
12. Before taking any x-rays, operators must ask female patients of child bearing age
about the possibility of pregnancy. If the patient is unsure, the procedure should be
delayed until the pregnancy status is confirmed.
13. Signs should be placed near the CBCT scanner reminding the patient to inform the
doctor/technologist if they are pregnant.
14. Pregnant radiation workers shall be provided with a personal radiation monitoring
device to assure the allowable limits to the fetus is not exceeded. Oral Surgery
Group policy regarding pregnant staff members taking x-rays is written in the Oral
Surgery Group Employee Handbook.
15. All staff members who operate the CBCT scanner are to sign below stating they
have read the safety manual:
