Authors Study design/subjects Research question Findings
Bracher et al. 2013 41 40 participants (161 lesions) Is UTE MRI clinically applicable for the identification of caries lesions?

  • 14 teeth with local image artefacts not evaluated;

  • UTE MRI applicable for caries detection with similar sensitivity than X-ray,

  • UTE MRI more sensitive than TSE for caries detection

TSE, turbo spin echo; UTE, ultrashort echo-time.
