Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) internal derangement is fairly prevalent in patients presenting with facial pain. MR imaging has become the primary modality for the assessment of the temporomandibular joint. A review of the normal anatomy and the key imaging findings of the different pathologic entities affecting this joint are presented. A reading algorithm to facilitate a systematic interpretation of the TMJ imaging study also is provided.
