OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare the performance of Ultrasonography (US) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in assessing the Lateral Periarticular Space (LPAS) of Temporomandibular Joints (TMJs) in patients with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). METHODS: The LPAS width was evaluated in two different patient groups. In the JIA group, including 29 children (13 ± 2.8 years) with JIA, the LPAS width was measured with both MRI and US. In the healthy group, including 28 healthy children (12.6 ± 2.5 years), the LPAS width was measured only with US. Comparisons of LPAS width based on patient groups and TMJ contrast enhancement in MRI were evaluated by applying the Mann-Whitney U test. Correlation and agreement between MRI and US measurements in JIA group were tested using Spearman rank correlation and Bland-Altman method. RESULTS: The LPAS width was significantly greater in the JIA group than in the healthy group. In the JIA group, the LPAS width was significantly greater in TMJs with moderate/severe enhancement than those with mild enhancement. A positive significant correlation between MRI and US measurements of LPAS width was found in the JIA group. In the same group, Bland-Altman method showed a good level of agreement between MRI and US measurements. CONCLUSION: Although, US cannot replace MRI in the evaluation of TMJ in patients with JIA, US could be used as a supplementary imaging method to MRI in assessing the TMJ disease.
