Ressonância magnética nuclear das patologias da atm : revisão de literatura.

Abstract

TMD are changes that interfere with the normal anatomy or function of ATMs. Etiological factors such as trauma, emotional stress, orthopedic instability and muscle hyperactivity may be factors in the development of TMD. Although there is other complementary tests that can be used for diagnosing TMD nuclear magnetic resonance imaging examination will be the most suitable for the evaluation of soft tissue that make up the ATMs. The aim of this study is review the diagnosis of diseases of ATMs by NMR, assessing the displacement and disc morphological changes articulate and joint effusion, bone intramedullary edema and degenerative joint disease. At the end of the study it was proved that MRI is the method best choice for soft tissue visualization of ATMs, technical as well as non-invasive and does not use ionizing radiation has great reliability with rates ranging from 73% to 95% and that the reliability is increased when you consider that the parasagittal and coronal images together.
