Abstract

This study demonstrates the functionality and clinical value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) registration using a new open-source artificial intelligence (AI) model called MR2CBCT. We present five clinical cases in which the AI-based method was used to register CBCT and MRI images. For comparison, manual registration was also performed. Qualitative inspection revealed that manual alignment often showed errors that could compromise diagnostic accuracy. In contrast, the AI-based approach consistently corrected these discrepancies, producing more anatomically coherent fused images to better support clinical decision-making. Our findings highlight MR2CBCT as a reliable and accessible tool for multimodal integration in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) assessment in orthodontics and general dentistry.

将MRI和CBCT用于高级TMJ诊断：在牙科和正畸学中使用人工智能注册的病例系列。

本研究利用一种新的开源人工智能（AI）模型MR2CBCT，展示了磁共振成像（MRI）与锥束计算机断层扫描（CBCT）配准的功能和临床价值。我们提出了五个临床病例，其中基于人工智能的方法被用于注册CBCT和MRI图像。为了比较，还进行了手动注册。定性检查显示，手动校准经常显示可能损害诊断准确性的错误。相比之下，基于人工智能的方法一致地纠正了这些差异，产生了更多解剖学上连贯的融合图像，以更好地支持临床决策。我们的研究结果强调了MR2CBCT作为一种可靠和易于获得的工具，用于正畸和普通牙科的颞下颌关节（TMJ）评估的多模式整合。
