Abstract: The aim of our project was to develop an MR imaging protocol for dynamic imaging of the TMJ. We imaged a total of 24 joints in 12 subjects. We developed an imaging protocol on a 3T system using the true FISP sequence that yielded an acceptable spatial and temporal resolution for dynamic MR imaging.
