| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study was started with the aim of three-dimensional visualizing masticatory muscle internal activity by applying spatial normalization and statistical imageing when analyzing the masticatory muscle activity with mfMRI. First, the characteristics of T2 shift associated with exercise within the masticatory muscles were clarified by comparison with electromyographic measurements. Second, a technique for spatial normalization of the masticatory muscles was established and its accuracy was verified. The results of this study suggested the possibility of visualizing the masticatory muscle local activity common to the subject group, and the basis of the method was established.
