Summary
This description observational research is comparative in design, that is comparing existing standard clinical dental images, not obtained in this study, to test (i.e., ddMRI) images. The standard clinical dental images consist of radiographs, such as bitewings, periapical, panoramic, cone-beam CT, and medical CT, as well medical MRIs of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ).The conceptualization of research questions, study designing, and interpretation of imaging data has and will involve content expertise in all ddMRI research.
Detailed Description
Patients recruited from dental clinics at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry will be screened for eligibility and asked to complete an MRI safety screening questionnaire. Eligible individuals will be invited to participate in at least one study visit, during which an MRI scan will be performed. At the end of the session, participants will complete a short questionnaire about their experience during the scan.
