Plain-language summary

This observational research is comparative in design, that is assessing the change in qMRI measures in degenerative changes of the TMJ in patients diagnosed with DJD. These patients will be imaged multiple times over the course of 18 months, using clinical 3T MRI scanners located at the Center for Magnetic Resonance Research (CMRR), and their findings will be compared to controls; individuals who are not diagnosed with DJD. No investigational agents or MRI contrast agents will be used.
