OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the effectiveness of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in distinguishing vital and non-vital teeth using a time-intensity curve pattern.
STUDY DESIGN: We retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI examinations, including those with jaw lesions and vital test results. The vital status of the dental pulp was assessed using the electric pulp test. MRI was performed using a 3T scanner and a 16-channel head and neck coil, with intravenous administration of gadoterate meglumine. Two radiologists measured signal intensity using T1-weighted imaging, T2-weighted imaging, and gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted imaging, while time-intensity curve classification was evaluated using time-resolved angiography with interleaved stochastic trajectory images.
RESULTS: We analyzed 26 vital and 15 non-vital teeth, using the signal- and time-intensity curve classifications. Signal intensity measurements showed no significant differences between vital and non-vital teeth on T1-weighted imaging, gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted imaging, and T2-weighted imaging. Time-intensity curve classification effectively distinguished between increasing- and non-increasing-type teeth. Only one case showed a discrepancy between the time-intensity curve and electric pulp test, but accuracy remained high at 98%.
CONCLUSION: Time-intensity curves derived from dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI accurately differentiated vital from non-vital teeth in jawbone lesions, comparable to the electric pulp test.
