Diaspora of Pathology and Radiology Involving Temporomandibular Joint from a Clinician Perspective - A Review

Abstract

With the help of imaging technology, the imaging of temporomandibular joint is seen a great success. Due to its superior contrast resolution and capability to get perfect imaging of the function of a particular joint, the magnetic resonance imaging is mostly used for the imaging techniques. Along with magnetic imaging, ultrasound imaging and computed tomography are other two imaging techniques used. The topic discussed here is especially on the art imaging of the temporomandibular joint. Normal temporomandibular joint appearance by the imaging technique and the internal derangement of temporomandibular joint is discussed in this article.
