Magnetic resonance imaging versus musculoskeletal ultrasound in the evaluation of temporomandibular joint in rheumatoid arthritis patients

Conclusion Detection of TMJ abnormalities tended to be higher by MRI than by MSUS yet with no difference between both modalities. TMJ erosions, effusion and disc displacement were common in RA patients as detected by MRI and MSUS. Also both were helpful in detecting subclinical TMJ radiographic abnormalities in RA patients.
