The obtained results were consistent with the most published studies in the literature. Although the doses to patient organs from the kV CBCT system were relatively low when compared with the prescribed treatment dose, the amount of delivered dose should be monitored and recorded carefully in order to avoid secondary cancer risk, especially in pediatric examinations.
