Methodology for quantitative evaluation of mandibular condyles motion symmetricity from real-time MRI in the axial plane

Résumé

Diagnosis of temporomandibular disorders is currently based on clinical examination and static MRI. Real-time MRI enables tracking of condylar motion and, thus, evaluation of their motion symmetricity (which could be associated with temporomandibular joint disorders). The purpose of this work is to propose an acquisition protocol, an image processing approach, and a set of parameters enabling objective assessment of motion asymmetry; to check the reliability and find the limitations of the approach, and to verify if the automatically calculated parameters are associated with the motion symmetricity. A rapid radial FLASH sequence was used to acquire a dynamic set of axial images for 10 subjects. One more subject was involved to estimate the dependence of the motion parameters on the slice placement. The images were segmented with a semi-automatic approach based on U-Net convolutional neural network, and the condyles' mass centers were projected on the mid-sagittal axis. Resulting projection curves were used for the extraction of various motion parameters including latency, velocity peak delay, and maximal displacement between the right and the left condyle. These automatically calculated parameters were compared with the physicians' scores. The proposed segmentation approach allowed a reliable center of mass tracking. Latency and velocity peak delay were found to be invariant to the slice position, and maximal displacement difference considerably varied. The automatically calculated parameters demonstrated a significant correlation with the experts' scores. The proposed acquisition and data processing protocol enables the automatizable extraction of quantitative parameters that characterize the symmetricity of condylar motion.
