CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that MR imaging using UTE sequences is a feasible alternative to CT in generating STL models of the mandible, and would therefore be suitable for surgical planning and additive manufacturing. Further in-vivo studies are necessary to assess the usability of UTE MRI sequences in clinical settings. PMID: 26943179 [PubMed – as supplied by publisher] (Source: Dentomaxillofacial Radiology)
