Abstract

V originále

The paper deals with the post-processing treatment of MR images in the examination of temporomandibular joints. Increasing the contrast that corresponds to the nucleus relaxation time T2 in the MR image and enhancing the arthritic areas of the afflicted temporomandibular joint were achieved by digital filtering using the wavelet transform and by processing two MR images measured at different echo times. The enhanced area indicates arthritic changes in the temporomandibular joint, which will be compared with conclusions from arthroscopic examination.
