[Magnetic resonance tomography of temporomandibular joint].
The paper shows the place of magnetic resonance imaging among other radiation diagnostic techniques in detecting abnormal changes in the temporomandibular joint. The authors' own data were based on the results of 315 examinations. The paper describes the technical features of examination of the joint and shows it possible to visualize different anatomic structures on T1-, T2- and Pd-weighted images. It also indicates the diagnostic potentialities of magnetic resonance imaging in identifying abnormal changes in the joint in its diseases and lesions. This has allowed the authors to show what is indicated for magnetic resonance imaging of the temporomandibular joint and that it is necessary to develop an algorithm of radiation diagnosis for patients with different clinical forms of joint diseases.
