Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was done in 454 temporomandibular joints of 240 patients and the images produced were correlated with arthrographic, tomographic, and, in the 85 patients who were operated on, surgical findings. The MRI was found to be more accurate than arthrography in demonstrating soft tissue changes. In addition, the technique does not expose the patient to ionizing radiation and has no known biological hazard.
对240例患者的454个颞下颌关节进行了磁共振成像(MRI)检查,并将所产生的图像与关节造影、断层扫描结果进行了对比,对于85例接受手术的患者,还与手术结果进行了对比。结果发现,在显示软组织变化方面,MRI比关节造影更准确。此外,该技术不会使患者暴露于电离辐射,也不存在已知的生物危害。
