Herein, we perform a systematic review of the test-retest literature on the variability of VDP, and similar metrics, generated from HP MRI. This review utilizes the Medline, EMBASE, and EBM Reviews databases and includes studies that assessed the variability of HP MRI VDP. The protocol was registered to PROSPERO: CRD42022328535. Imaging techniques and statistical analysis characteristics were extracted and used to group studies to evaluate the overall ability to pool data across grouped studies. The ability to pool data to provide systematic evidence was assessed using a modified COSMIN tool. A total of 22 studies with 37 distinct aims for repeated HP MRI acquisition or quantification were included. Studies were grouped into six categories based on HP gas and analysis type: repeated imaging (<sup>129</sup>Xe n = 13, <sup>3</sup>He n = 12), interobserver repeated analysis (<sup>129</sup>Xe n = 4, <sup>3</sup>He n = 4) or intraobserver repeated analysis (<sup>129</sup>Xe n = 1, <sup>3</sup>He n = 2). Studies assessed variability using a variety of statistical tests including absolute difference, percent coefficient of variation, Bland-Altman limits of agreement, coefficient of reproducibility, or the intra-class correlation. Individual studies generally reported low variability of VDP (ICC range: 0.5-1.0; Bland-Altman bias range: -6.9-20%), but there was an overall inability to pool data and provide a meta-analysis due to methodological inconsistencies and small sample size. Overall, we found that VDP has low variability in most studies. However, inconsistent image acquisition and quantification methodologies between studies limits direct comparability and precludes grouping of study data for meta-analyses. Despite early efforts to standardize HP MRI acquisition, further work is necessary to standardize VDP quantification to allow broader validation and clinical implementation.

Conventional radiographic methods or CBCT cannot directly assess the condition of the dental pulp due to their primary focus on hard tissue visualization, whereas the dental pulp is primarily composed of connective tissue. Given the advantages of MRI in soft tissue imaging, this review aims to explore the current application of MRI for dental pulp tissue assessment. Relevant studies concerning the application of MRI for visualizing dental pulp were retrieved from databases including PubMed, Embase, and Scopus. The review explored and discussed the advancements in MRI hardware and software related to dental pulp visualization, as well as the advantages and limitations of MRI in dental pulp studies. Despite remaining limitations, such as scanning time and cost considerations, MRI offers notable benefits, including radiation-free imaging and potentially superior resolution and accuracy compared with other imaging techniques.
