Radiation exposure facts flyer/poster for dental offices

[fug]

Hi all,

I just wanted to showcase a project I've been working on here for anyone who might be interested. I decided to design a colorful informational flyer and poster that compares the small amount of radiation exposure from dental radiographic procedures to other common sources, like flying in a plane.

I initially started this in reaction to a study that came out last year purporting to link dental radiographs to meningioma risk, which was subsequently blown way out of proportion by major media outlets.

I am offering it in 3 formats:

1) an 8.5x11 inch laminated flyer, made for operatory use. It is small enough to be stored out of sight and is meant to be used as a teaching aid to answer questions from patients when they arise.

2) an 11x17 inch poster

3) an 18x24 inch poster

I have attached a preview of the design here showing 3 different color schemes. If anyone is interested in ordering a copy or two, or if you just have any questions about this project, feel free to shoot me a private message or reply here. Thanks!

This is awesome.

You should include panorex and cone beam CT then it would be perfect.

Very cool. Just out of curosity, where do the facts/numbers come from?

Thanks for all the positive feedback!

The facts and figures are all cited at the bottom (really hard to see in the preview): the websites of the American Nuclear Society, National Research Council, and Vermont State Department of Health.

I have another version that includes extra info about panoramics as well, but so far I haven't made one for conebeam. From what I can tell, it's much harder to determine an "average" dose from conebeams because of all the variations in manufacturer specifications and user preferences. Bitewings are pretty much just a point-and-click kind of thing, so the procedure and equipment are much more standardized.
