Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Between September 2000 and April 2006, 601 patients with clinically diagnosed TMJ disorders underwent MR imaging at 0.5T with a dedicated TMJ coil.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria for this study included scans with poor image quality attributed either to motion or susceptibility artifact precluding diagnostic evaluation.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The addition of the axial STIR images to the standard TMJ MR imaging protocol detected unexpected pathology in 3.5% of patients, including malignancies (1%). The addition of the axial STIR sequence to the TMJ MR imaging protocol could potentially be used as an adjunct to the typical TMJ MR imaging protocol to improve detection of unexpected extra-articular disease.—
