Abstract
Background and Objectives: This research was aimed at constructing a complete automated temporomandibular joint disc position identification system that could assist with magnetic resonance imaging disc displacement diagnosis on oblique sagittal and oblique coronal images. Materials and Methods: The study included fifty subjects with magnetic resonance imaging scans of the temporomandibular joint. Oblique sagittal and coronal sections of the magnetic resonance imaging scans were analyzed. Investigations were performed on the right and left coronal images with a closed mouth, as well as right and left sagittal images with closed and open mouths. Three hundred sagittal and coronal images were employed to train the artificial intelligence algorithm. Results: The accuracy ratio of the completely computerized articular disc identification method was 81%. Conclusions: An automated and accurate evaluation of temporomandibular joint disc position was developed by using both oblique sagittal and oblique coronal magnetic resonance imaging images.
