چکیده
Results: Comparison between panorama and MRI revealed that there was statistically significant difference regard condyles position in panorama and condylar osseous changes in MRI, temporal cortical bone integrity in panorama and osseous condylar changes in MRIs and finally joints space narrowing in panorama and disc position, disc morphology, and joint effusion in MRIs. While, there was no statistically significant difference regard condyles morphology in panorama and osseous condylar changes in MRIs, and finally joint space narrowing in panorama and revealed retrodiscal band hyper intense signal detected in MR images.

A comparison of ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of temporomandibular joint involvement in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis.
OBJECTIVE To define the diagnostic value of ultrasonographic (US) examination in comparison with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the assessment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). METHODS MRI and US examinations were performed in 33 patients (22 with RA and 11 with PsA). Alterations of the disc, alterations of the condy...
متن کاملEvaluation of internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint by panoramic radiographs compared with magnetic resonance imaging.
INTRODUCTION Panoramic radiographs are routinely used in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. It would be useful if these radiographs could also provide information about internal derangement (ID) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). METHODS The sample consisted of 168 condyles in 84 women. They underwent panoramic radiography on 1 of 3 machines and bilateral magnetic resonance imag...
متن کاملHow magnetic resonance imaging changed the way we view rheumatoid arthritis
Modern imaging modalities, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are valuable diagnostic and therapy monitoring tools in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This article reviewed how these imaging modalities have greatly improved our understanding of pathogenic mechanisms in RA, namely the link between inflammation and damage. For example, traditional paradigms regarding the mechanisms of joint de...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging of the shoulder in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
To evaluate the ability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect shoulder abnormalities 18 patients (36 shoulders) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and shoulder complaints were studied. Osseous abnormalities of the glenoid and humeral head were readily detected with MRI. The imaging planes used were not suitable for the evaluation of acromioclavicular joint involvement. Magnetic resonance im...
متن کاملبررسی شدت نسبی سیگنال تصاویر Magnetic Resonance در بافت رترودیسکال و عضله پتریگوئید خارجی و رابطه آن با یافتههای Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Background and Aims: Disc displacement is the most common temporomandibular joint disorder and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard in its diagnosis. This disorder can lead to changes in signal intensity of magnetic resonance (MR). The purpose of this study was evaluation of correlation between relative signal intensity of MR images of retrodiscal tissue, superior and inferior ...
