Efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging texture features of the lateral pterygoid muscle in distinguishing rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis of the temporomandibular joint.
Dento Maxillo Facial Radiology 2023 January 4
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) texture features of the lateral pterygoid muscle can distinguish between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
METHODS: The authors extracted 279 texture features from 36 patients with RA and OA from the region of interest set for the lateral pterygoid muscle on short tau inversion recovery images using MaZda Ver.3.3. A total of 10 texture features were selected using Fisher's coefficients, as well as probability of error and average correlation coefficients. Data observed to have a non-normal distribution using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess the ability of the 10 texture features to distinguish RA and OA of the TMJ.
RESULTS: A total of 10 features (5 Correlation, 3 Run Length Nonuniformity, 1 Sigma, and 1 Teta) were selected from 279 texture features. These texture features revealed significant differences between the RA and OA groups ( p < 0.01). The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and area under the ROC curve of the texture features for distinguishing RA from OA were 0.78-0.94, 0.89-1.0, 0.86-0.92, and 0.89-0.95, respectively.
CONCLUSION: MRI texture analysis of the lateral pterygoid muscle may be useful for distinguishing between RA and OA of the TMJ.
