We present a pictorial review of the spectrum of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pathology diagnosed with CT. Although MRI is the modality of choice for most TMJ pathology, CT is useful when MRI is contraindicated or not accessible. With attention to technique and viewing conditions, CT is capable of showing internal disc derangement, arthritis, neoplasms and non-TMJ regional pathology at a relatively low radiation dose.
我们展示了一组通过CT诊断的颞下颌关节（TMJ）病理图谱综述。虽然MRI是大多数TMJ病理的首选检查方式，但当MRI存在禁忌或无法进行时，CT也很有用。注意技术和观察条件的情况下，CT能够以相对低的辐射剂量显示关节盘内紊乱、关节炎、肿瘤以及非TMJ区域的病理情况。
