Craniofacial measurements using zero echo time magnetic resonance imaging
To our knowledge, this study is the first to show that ZTE-MRI allows feasible linear and angular craniofacial measurements used in dental practice and demonstrates good agreement with MDCT for major skeletal landmarks. These findings support its potential future clinical applicability for radiation-free bone assessment; however, further research is warranted to establish its performance across all measurements.
