In this study, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) using SSFP with a time\u2013SLIP was evaluated in 40 subjects. The outline and course of branches of the lingual and facial arteries near the mandible were assessed clinically in the same subjects against contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) images as the gold standard. The submental, sublingual, and deep lingual arteries could be visualized via MRA in 16, 20, and 16 of the 40 subjects, respectively. The major axes of the respective arteries were approximately 24, 24, and 16 mm. The outline and course of all visualized arteries coincided with those on CT. MRA using SSFP with a time\u2013SLIP appears to have potential as a non-contrast technique for visualizing branches of the lingual and facial arteries on the lingual aspect of the mandible. Information regarding the outline and course of these arteries as obtained using this MRA technique could assist in preventing severe complications in dental implantation surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11206137","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,19]],"date-time":"2022-10-19T00:58:51Z","timestamp":1666141131000},"page":"6137","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Visualization of Peripheral Blood Vessels on the Lingual Aspect of the Mandible Using a Balanced Steady-State Free-Precession Sequence with a Time\u2013Spatial Labeling Inversion Pulse: Usefulness for Prevention of Severe Complications of Dental Implantation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Tatsurou","family":"Tanaka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Maxillofacial Radiology, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Kagoshima University, Kagoshima 890-8580, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yusuke","family":"Kawashima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Maxillofacial Radiology, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Kagoshima University, Kagoshima 890-8580, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masafumi","family":"Oda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Kyushu Dental University, Kitakyushu 803-8580, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nao","family":"Wakasugi-Sato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Kyushu Dental University, Kitakyushu 803-8580, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shinobu","family":"Matsumoto-Takeda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Kyushu Dental University, Kitakyushu 803-8580, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shun","family":"Nishimura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Kyushu Dental University, Kitakyushu 803-8580, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yasuhiro","family":"Morimoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Kyushu Dental University, Kitakyushu 803-8580, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"691","DOI":"10.1002\/JPER.18-0236","article-title":"Retrospective cohort study of 4591 dental implants: Analysis of risk indicators for bone loss and prevalence of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis","volume":"90","author":"French","year":"2019","journal-title":"J.
