Radiation Safety

ALARA is an acronym for “As Low As Reasonably Achievable.” One of the reasons that your dentist has specifically referred you to SL Dental CT Scan is our ability to provide ALARA, high-quality diagnostic dental imaging at the lowest possible dose. The X-ray technicians have been specially trained in advanced dental imaging procedures, which include radiation safety and protection.

At SL Dental CT Scan, we take additional steps to ensure your safety by employing a dedicated in-house X-ray technician who performs an annual recalibration of our CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) machine. This proactive maintenance helps maintain optimal performance while minimizing radiation exposure. By regularly adjusting and fine-tuning the equipment, we ensure that every scan delivers clear, precise images using the lowest reasonable dose of radiation—supporting our strong commitment to safety, accuracy, and patient care.
