T2 mapping (distribution of T2 values) is a notable MRI technique for evaluating water contents in tissues. We investigated the clinical significance of T2 mapping for the evaluation of masticator muscle conditions by comparing the difference in the T2 values between the painful and pain-free sides of the masseter muscle in patients with TMD.
