[A study of the magnetic resonance image].

Abstract

MR imaging offers the superior evaluation of soft tissue structures without the use of ionizing radiation or intracapsular injection. In addition, the influence of MR imaging on the field of T.M.J. may be quite substantial. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the principles of MR imaging, to determine the normal and abnormal T.M.J. imaging, and to compare MR imaging with transcranial, arthrography, tomography, and computed tomography.
