A radiological examination is an essential part of the diagnosis and management of temporomandibularjoint disease. Accurate evaluation of the TMJ has been difficult due to the superimposition of other structure in conventional radiographs. Cone beam computed tomography provides precise imaging of TMJ anatomy without superimposition and distortion. The CBCT's preciseness enables practitioners to better identify problems, as well for other strategies. Common conditions of the TMJ in which CBCT plays a role are discussed.
放射学检查是颞下颌关节疾病诊断和治疗的重要组成部分。由于传统X线片中其他结构的重叠，对颞下颌关节进行准确评估一直很困难。锥形束计算机断层扫描能够提供颞下颌关节解剖结构的精确成像，而不会出现重叠和变形。锥形束计算机断层扫描的精确性使从业者能够更好地识别问题，并制定其他治疗策略。本文将讨论锥形束计算机断层扫描在颞下颌关节常见病症中的作用。
