Abstract:
A novel imaging technique, CT-like MRI, specifically Fast Field Echo Resembling a CT Using Restricted Echo-spacing (FRACTURE), has been developed to depict bones. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of FRACTURE MRI in cranial and facial bone lesions. Our results suggest that FRACTURE MRI can be used in addition to conventional MRI to evaluate a variety of pathologies of the cranial and facial bones.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
