Abstract

Objectives: To compare the signal intensity (SI) of mandibular condyle bone marrow (MCBM) and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc in patients with chronic anaemia and healthy Subjects, and to investigate the relationships between bone marrow changes, age, types of anaemia and severity of anaemia.
