Aim: The aim of this study was the correlation of an ultrasound examination of the disk of the temporomandibular joint with the magnetic rezonance examination.

Method: In total has been examined 95 patients, 112 mandibular joints, file include 10 men, 85 women, age interface 14-74 years old, the average age of 37 years. The patients were examined using Philips iu22 with linear 17 MHz probe with dynamic phase - with opening the mouth. On the MRI, the patients were examined using Philips Achieva 1.5 T with the surface coil and microscopic coil, each examination included a sequence with the gradual opening of the mouth.

Results: Consent between the ultrasound examination and magnetic resonance imaging in the anterior position was 96%, disc reposition in 94% of patients, without reposition in 65% cases.

Keywords: disc, magnetic resonance imaging, temporomandibular joint, ultrasound
