Magnetic resonance imaging of the temporomandibular joint is a topic of recent interest and has gained widespread use for the assessment of internal derangement and other temporomandibular joint-related symptoms. In this article the authors present six proven cases of pathologic abnormalities of the temporomandibular joint region that may clinically mimic internal derangement. These cases demonstrate the importance of the monitoring of studies by a radiologist and also the utility of computed tomography as an adjunctive modality. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography are often complimentary in diagnosing etiologies that may mimic internal derangement. Because abnormalities other than internal derangement are often encountered during the use of magnetic resonance imaging, it is essential for the radiologist to assume an active role in monitoring such cases.
颞下颌关节的磁共振成像（MRI）是近来备受关注的一个话题，并且已广泛用于评估关节内紊乱及其他与颞下颌关节相关的症状。在本文中，作者展示了6例经证实的颞下颌关节区域病理异常病例，这些病例在临床上可能与关节内紊乱相似。这些病例表明了放射科医生对研究进行监测的重要性，以及计算机断层扫描（CT）作为辅助检查手段的实用性。在诊断可能与关节内紊乱相似的病因时，MRI和CT常常相辅相成。由于在使用MRI过程中经常会遇到除关节内紊乱以外的异常情况，放射科医生在监测此类病例时发挥积极作用至关重要。
