Summary : Histological correlations of the human lip with corresponding magnetic resonance (MR) images obtained ex vivo are presented. MR images were acquired with a dedicated low-field (0.1 T) MR system, with a resolution of 100 x 100 µm2 and a slice thickness of 1 mm using 3D-FLASH sequences. The outermost tissues visible on images are of high signal intensity, while the innermost connective tissues are of low signal intensity, both for skin and oral mucosa. It is possible to use a low-field system to obtain high resolution images of small biological samples. |
