Computerized Tomography with Multiplanar Reconstruction for Examining the TMJ

Abstract
Radiologic confirmation of temporomandibular joint pathology diagnosis has long been difficult to achieve. Computerized or computed tomography (CT) with multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) can produce multiple images of the temporomandibular joint at various views, thus permitting a non-invasive diagnosis of pathology or disorder in the joint. This article discusses the use of CT scanning and presents four case histories in which this technique was used to examine the temporomandibular joints
