A Comparison of Different Methods to Generate Tooth Surface Models Without Applying Ionizing Radiation for Digital 3-Dimensional Image Fusion With Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Based Data of the Head and Neck Region

摘要

Objective The 3-dimensional display of the vocal tract and teeth is necessary in numerous clinical and scientific contexts. Due to the different tissue properties this can only be achieved by combining different imaging techniques. A comparison of methods to record the tooth surface to create combined models of the vocal tract and teeth without applying ionizing radiation is displayed in this study.
