Applicability of MRI for the assessment of periapical lesions and individual comparison of MRI and CBCT findings |
Overestimation of dimension of lesions with MRI compared to CBCT; More detailed characterisation of lesions with MRI;
T
2 weighted sequences showed heterogeneity of periapical pathologies

Assessment of periapical lesions and characterisation of lesions with MRI using different contrast weightings; correlation with histopathology |
T
1 weighted images for identification of lesions;
T
2 weighted images for further characterisation of lesions; Differential diagnosis of periapical lesions possible by assessing homogeneity/heterogeneity of signal, signal inside the lesion compared to surrounding tissue; Differences in signal intensity between T
1- and T
2 weighted images

11 participants (mean 39.5 y, range 21–60 y), 11 teeth |
Assessment and characterisation of periapical lesions with MRI using different contrast weightings and contrast agent, correlation with histopathology |
All lesions were detected with MRI, High reproducibility of lesion measurements in MRI; No predictable differentiation of lesions with non-contrast-enhanced T
1 weighted images, Differentiation of peripheral rim, lesion centre and surrounding tissue with contrast-enhanced T
1- and T
2 weighted sequence; MRI characteristics in accordance with result of histopathological analysis

Diagnostic reliability and accuracy of MRI for periapical lesions, correlation with histopathology |
Endosseous lesions clearly visible in T1, T2 and contrast-enhanced T1 images, Two diagnostic patterns established related to signal intensity, signal heterogeneity, margins, low-intensity outline and contrast agent distribution; High interrater reliability for histopathological diagnosis of periapical lesions; Specificity: 0.50 and 0.63, respectively, and sensitivity: 0.94

Assessment of signal changes in MRI in patients with atypical odontalgia and correlation of MRI and CBCT |
MRI and radiographic imaging coincided with a finding in 75% of patients with atypical odontalgia and chronic pain; 3D CISS redundant for periapical diagnosis without radiological correlate displayed findings in MRI, 40% of patients with odontalgia had changes in region in MRI

10 patients (mean age: 38.8 y, range 21–63 y) |
Assessment of MRI for intraosseous pathological findings, characterisation of MRI findings and correlation to histopathology |
Odontogenic cysts appeared with homogenous high and intermediate signal intensity in water and fat T
2 weighted images, respectively, Contrast agent administration resulted in thin rim enhancement in T
