Dentaldedikeret magnetisk resonans – en metode til at diagnosticere, hvad der før var usynligt. (Danish)

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive, ionizing-radiation-free imaging modality, which has become an indispensable diagnostic method in medicine. The advancement of MRI technology in the field of dentistry has long been anticipated alongside the progress in imaging technology. Recently, advances in hardware and software technologies made possible that MRI can be used more often within dentistry, the so-called “dental-dedicated” MRI (ddMRI). Considering the well-established benefits of MRI in medical radiology, one can expect significant advantages in diagnostics, treatment planning, and disease progression monitoring, when using MRI technology within the dental field. In this article, we provide an overview of MRI technology, discuss the current state-of-the-art MRI technology for dentistry (i.e., ddMRI), and present some clinical examples to help understanding the value of this new diagnostic modality. Based on the available data, it is feasible to consider that ddMRI will enhance diagnostic imaging within dentistry. Future publications must provide evidence that ddMRI is not inferior to the current available imaging modalities and highlight the added value of this new technology in dentistry.

Magnetisk resonans (MR) er en billedteknik uden brug af ioniserende stråling, og teknikken er i dag et uundværligt diagnostisk redskab inden for medicin. MR-teknologiens udvikling med henblik på visualisering af væv med odontologisk relevans har længe været ventet i takt med den generelle udvikling af billeddiagnostiske metoder. Nylige fremskridt inden for hardware- og softwareteknologier har gjort det muligt at udvikle MR til odontologiske formål, såkaldt ”dentaldedikeret MR” eller ”dental-dedicated MRI” (ddMRI). Med ddMRI kan man forvente betydelige fordele inden for diagnostik og behandlingsplanlægning samt monitorering af behandlingsprogression og -resultat. Nærværende artikel giver en kort introduktion til MR-teknologien, og den nuværende state of the art-ddMRI diskuteres understøttet af kliniske eksempler. Ud fra det nuværende datagrundlag er det rimeligt at forvente, at ddMRI i fremtiden vil kunne indgå i odontologisk billeddiagnostik. Fremtidige publikationer forventes at sandsynliggøre, at ddMRI ikke er ringere end nuværende tilgængelige billeddiagnostiske metoder, og samtidig fremhæve de værdier, som den nye teknologi tilfører.
