Dental researchers are making progress in their quest to develop a practical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device that can be used in the operatory for hard- and soft-tissue analysis and diagnosis, according to DrBicuspid.com. The article discusses a technical paper published in Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (July 30, 2013), in which scientists from the University of Minnesota Center for Magnetic Resonance Research outline their efforts to optimize the MR signal from the teeth and supporting structures—an important step in improving overall image resolution.
