Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method for acquiring a dental object of a patient with an object volume, in particular at least a part of a skull, an upper jaw and/or a lower jaw. To do so, a plurality of segment volume ranges are defined in the object volume, where the segment volume ranges overlap at most partially and directions of the segment volume ranges are not parallel to one another. The image data of the segment volume ranges is recorded by an MRI machine within a measuring volume of the MRI machine. A two-dimensional composite image is generated from the image data of the individual segment volume ranges by projecting the image data onto a target plane. The target plane is disposed parallel to a defined midsagittal plane of the skull or corresponds to the midsagittal plane, where a first segment volume range at least partially includes the midsagittal plane of the skull.
