Electronic thermography (ET) has the potential to be a nonionizing, noninvasive, low-cost diagnostic alternative for evaluating temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. This study was designed to evaluate the use of ET as a diagnostic aid in the assessment of patients with acute TMJ pain. Computer measurements made using facial thermography were able to distinguish normal patient populations from symptomatic patients with acute TMJ pain. Additional studies are needed before thermographic diagnosis of TMJ disorders will be clinically accepted.
电子热成像（ET）有潜力成为一种用于评估颞下颌关节（TMJ）紊乱的非电离、非侵入性、低成本的诊断方法。本研究旨在评估ET在急性TMJ疼痛患者评估中作为诊断辅助手段的应用。使用面部热成像进行的计算机测量能够区分正常患者群体和患有急性TMJ疼痛的有症状患者。在热成像诊断TMJ紊乱被临床接受之前，还需要进行更多研究。
