ABSTRACT:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive diagnostic method which can provide detailed images of organs and structures of the human body.
The purpose of this review is to explore and introduce the diagnostic capabilities of MRI in imaging m. masseter in conditions of norm and pathology.
The material of the review is information of 20 literary sources selected from 530, found by keywordsfromJanuary to April 2017.
The information about MRI imaging of the normal anatomy of m. masseter and the most common findings in muscle - muscle hypertrophy, inflammatory changes, vascular malformations, intramuscular hemangioma, cysticercosis and changes after radiotherapy was analyzed.
In conclusion, the diagnostic capabilities of MRI of masseter muscle – both in the conditions of norm and pathology were confirmed. The method is considered to be reliable, objective, non-invasive and accurate.
Keywords: MRI, diagnostics, m.masseter,
