“…The only exception was the visualization of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and salivary glands at 1.5T (He et al, 2013;Assaf et al, 2014). Although 3T MRI allows better image quality, e.g., for the demonstration of incisive canals by using modified T2 sequences (Krasny et al, 2012), 3T MRI also allows one to verify pathologies of further anatomical structures, e.g., salivary glands or cystic lesions (Habermann et al, 2007;Petridis et al, 2007;La'Porte et al, 2011;Assaf et al, 2014). One of the major limitations of MRI, compared with other imaging techniques such as CT or CBCT, is the long scanning time required due to diverse sequences with different image contrast (T1, T2, CISS), which makes its application tricky, especially in children.…”
