The temporomandibular joint is a unique and complex joint. Various imaging techniques have been developed to properly visualize this complex joint, such as conventional radiology, orthopantomography, CBCT and MRI. Imaging can contribute to the differential diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disorders. Common joint disorders are arthritis and internal derangement. Osseous changes of the temporomandibular joint can be clearly visualized with CBCT. MRI is superior for imaging the internal anatomy of the temporomandibular joint and is preferred in the context of internal derangement.
颞下颌关节是一个独特而复杂的关节。已经开发了各种成像技术来正确显示这个复杂的关节，如传统放射学、曲面体层摄影、锥形束计算机断层扫描（CBCT）和磁共振成像（MRI）。成像有助于颞下颌关节紊乱病的鉴别诊断。常见的关节疾病是关节炎和内部紊乱。CBCT可以清晰地显示颞下颌关节的骨质变化。MRI在显示颞下颌关节内部解剖结构方面更具优势，在内部紊乱的情况下更受青睐。
