- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The addition of the axial STIR images to the standard TMJ MR imaging protocol detected unexpected pathology in 3.5% of patients, including malignancies (1%). The addition of the axial STIR sequence to the TMJ MR imaging protocol could potentially be used as an adjunct to the typical TMJ MR imaging protocol to improve detection of unexpected extra-articular disease.
