Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) patients experience a variety of clinical symptoms, and MRI is the most effective tool for diagnosing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc displacement. This study aimed to develop a transformer-based deep learning model to generate T2-weighted (T2w) images from proton density-weighted (PDw) images, reducing MRI scan time for TMD patients.
