Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This work proposes a method for measurement of tooth shape by magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) using a dental mouthpiece made of a
thermoplastic elastomer. Because this material is blended with edible
paraffin, it can be imaged with high signal intensity MRI. Also, this
dental mouthpiece is formed in a vacuum in order to eliminate formation
of air bubbles and thereby obtain even MR images. The teeth, on the
other hand, are imaged with low signal intensity that contrasts against
the dental mouthpiece, thus enabling extraction of tooth shape from the
MR images.
