Significant reduction in dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) eye dose through the use of leaded glasses

In light of the increased recognition of the potential for lens opacification after low-dose radiation exposures, we investigated the effect of leaded eyeglasses worn during dental cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) procedures on the radiation absorbed dose to the eye and suggest simple method...
