Abstract
A total of 115 temporomandibular joints (TMJ) in 67 patients were examined by high resolution magnetic resonance (MR) using a surface coil. Five millimeter sections were imaged using a two-dimensional multisection acquisition. Findings of MR examinations were correlated with findings of conventional radiographic and clinical examinations. Surgical confirmation was available in 15 patients. MR definition of soft-tissue structures including the meniscus is superior to that of conventional imaging methods. Bony detail is comparable. MR is an excellent method for the primary diagnostic evaluation of TMJ abnormalities.Entities:
