UTE T2* sequences can be used to assess the
temporomandibular joint disc in vivo with differences in
T2* values in symptomatic patients compared to
asymptomatic volunteers. This study proves feasibility
of in vivo quantitative MR evaluation of TMJ disc using
the UTE T2* technique, which may provide sensitive and
objective measure of TMJ disc degeneration in TMD
patients.
