  • Title: The temporomandibular joint: magnetic resonance imaging using surface coils.
    Author: Harms SE, Wilk RM, Wolford LM, Chiles DG, Milam SB.
    Journal: Radiology; 1985 Oct; 157(1):133-6. PubMed ID: 4034958.
    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.
