Preliminary experience with black bone magnetic resonance imaging for morphometry of the mandible and visualisation of the facial skeleton

ConclusionMorphometric measurements of the mandible can be obtained from black bone MRI with comparable inter-rater agreement to that reported for cone beam computed tomography (CT). With improvements of 3-D rendering techniques and software, black bone MRI may become a radiation-free alternative to CT in children with facial deformities.
