Quantitative assessment of the mandibular condyle in patients with diabetes mellitus using diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging

Objective The purpose of this study was to quantitatively assess the mandibular condyle in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) using the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI). Study Design 102 patients with DM and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) p...

Description
Summary:Objective The purpose of this study was to quantitatively assess the mandibular condyle in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) using the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI). Study Design 102 patients with DM and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination of the TMJs at our hospital between August 2006 and March 2020 were included in this study. 112 patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) who underwent MRI examination at our hospital between April 2019 and March 2020 were included as controls. The MRI findings were compared between the two groups. Results The mean ADC values of the mandibular condyle in patients with DM were significantly greater than the controls ( P
