Standard imaging methods in dental radiology are almost exclusively based on X-rays. Not only does magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) avoid ionizing radiation, but has also been shown to be superior in identifying carious lesions. In this work we present a 2D-UTE sequence with an echo time of 35µs, utilizing 240µs half-pulses to ensure reduced signal attenuation from tissues with short T2 relaxation during excitation. The feasibility of the method was demonstrated with the successful acquisition of in vivo MR pantomograms.
