Anterior displacement of the meniscus of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) was diagnosed in nine patients who had undergone arthrography, and they were later examined with computed tomography (CT) to see if this modality could supplant arthrography in some patients with TMJ dysfunction. The anteriorly displaced menisci were visualized in all nine patients by using sagittal reformations and the blink mode. Four of the nine patients had the diagnosis confirmed at surgery. The precise protocol for the CT examination and how to interpret it are discussed. We are optimistic that CT may replace TMJ arthrography in selected patients.
颞下颌关节（TMJ）半月板前移位在9例接受关节造影的患者中得到诊断，随后对他们进行了计算机断层扫描（CT）检查，以确定这种检查方式是否能在一些颞下颌关节功能障碍患者中取代关节造影。通过矢状面重建和闪烁模式，在所有9例患者中均观察到了前移位的半月板。9例患者中有4例在手术中得到确诊。文中讨论了CT检查的精确方案及其解读方法。我们乐观地认为，CT可能在部分患者中取代颞下颌关节造影。
