Synthetic magnetic resonance imaging for quantitative parameter evaluation of temporomandibular joint disorders.

CONCLUSION: The PD and T1 values of condylar bone marrow obtained from synthetic MRI can be used as sensitive indicators of TMJ disorder progression. The PD value of the bone marrow showed potential as a useful biomarker for recognizing the initial stages of TMJ disorders. Synthetic MRI is useful for the simultaneous acquisition of effective MRI parameters for evaluating TMJ disorders. PMID: 33544630 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
