摘要: Objectives Pathological changes of the lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM) have been investigated using various modalities, including magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and electromyography. Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) is an MR sequence that we hypothesized can be used to evaluate abnormalities LPM. The purpose this study was analyze FLAIR signal intensity LPM in painful temporomandibular joints (TMJs) investigate pathological muscle.
