Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method for capturing a dental object with an object volume, in particular, at least one part of a maxilla and/or a mandible, with the sue of an MRT apparatus. A plurality of MRT segment images, which depict the defined segmented volume regions are acquired by an MRT apparatus within a measurement volume of the MRT apparatus. The segmented volume regions overlap no more than partially. In this case a target surface is defined or has already been defined. Then a two dimensional composite image, which corresponds to a two dimensional aggregate image through the target surface within the object volume of the dental object, is generated computer-aided from the individual MRT segment images.
