MRI: The imaging will be for your joints, not your brain. The images will help diagnose your problem and detect if there is any damage.

MRI, Not uncommon: Brain and brain stem MRI is the first-choice examination to rule out secondary pathology in posterior fossa. For examp;e: acoustic neuroma mimicking TMJD (temporomandibular disorders) in many cases. Follow instructions.
