Özet

Objective. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the corrections of signal intensity of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc caused by variations in sensitivity of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) surface coil, to compare the modified signal intensities of the posterior and anterior bands, and then to evaluate the relationship of the signal intensity difference to altered disc position and morphology in a group of TMJ patients.
