Synopsis

Current diagnosis of temporomandibular disorders includes clinical examination and MRI; however, static MR images in only two key positions are not sufficient for detection of some cases of temporomandibular disk displacement. We acquired jaw opening and closure movements for 5 healthy volunteers with a real-time MRI in axial plane. The condyles were segmented with a convolutional neural network approach and motion curves of their mass centers were calculated. It was shown that the proposed protocol gives straighforward evaluation of condylar motion assymetry.
