Evaluation of masticatory muscles in temporomandibular joint disorder patients using quantitative MRI fat fraction analysis-Could it be a biomarker?

Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) are closely related to the masticatory muscles, but objective and quantitative methods to evaluate muscle are lacking. IDEAL-IQ, a type of chemical shift-encoded magnetic resonance imaging (CSE-MRI), can quantify the fat fraction (FF). The purpose of this stu...
