“…Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) is essential for exact diagnosis of temporomandibular joint (TMJ), such as displacement and degeneration of the disc, bone deformations, inflammatory reactions and other pathological condition 1–3 . MRI visualises not only bone and soft tissue, but also fluid content within these tissue 2,4 . Synovial fluid is the dialysate of plasma, which provides nutrients for TMJ, and takes a role in removing the waste products of the tissues.…”

“…1-3 MRI visualises not only bone and soft tissue, but also fluid content within these tissue. 2,4 Synovial fluid is the dialysate of plasma, which provides nutrients for TMJ, and takes a role in removing the waste products of the tissues. If excessive synovial fluid accumulates in the TMJ space and shows high signal on T2 weighted MRI, a diagnosis of joint effusion is often given.…”

BackgroundJoint effusion is often noticed in magnetic resonance image (MRI) and its diagnostic value for arthralgia of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) remains obscure.ObjectiveTo develop a method for quantitatively evaluating the joint effusion revealed in MRI and its diagnostic value for arthralgia of the TMJ.MethodsTwo‐hundreds and twenty‐eight TMJs, 101 with arthralgia (Group P) and 105 without (Group NP) from 103 patients, and 22 TMJs (Group CON) from 11 asymptomatic volunteers were examined by using MRI. The effusion volume was measured after constructing a three‐dimensional structure of the joint effusion revealed in MRI by using the ITK‐SNAP software. The diagnostic capabilities of the effusion volume on arthralgia were evaluated with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.ResultsTotally 146 joints showed MRI signs of joint effusion, including nine joints from Group CON. However, the medium volume was greater in Group P (66.65 mm3), but was much similar in Group CON (18.33 mm3) to Group NP (27.12 mm3). The effusion volume larger than 38.20 mm3 was validated to discriminate Group P from Group NP. The AUC value was 0.801 (95% CI 0.728 to 0.874), with a sensitivity of 75% and specificity of 78.9%. The median volume of the joint effusion was larger in those with than without bone marrow oedema, osteoarthritis, Type‐III disc configurations, disc displacement and higher signal intensity of the retrodiscal tissue (all, p < .05).ConclusionThe present method for evaluate joint effusion volume well discriminated painful TMJs from non‐pain ones.
