MRI of the Temporomandibular Joint: Correlation Between
Imaging and Pathology
Sinopsis :
This book is the outcome of a fruitful, long-standing
cooperation between expert radiologists and clinicians, and
explains the most relevant features and technical requirements
that are needed to optimally conduct and assess MR
examinations for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pathologies.
TMJ conditions are increasingly gaining attention, as the
underlying diseases involved can vary considerably and be
difficult to diagnose. Similarly, several imaging sub-specialties
(e.g. dental radiology, neuroradiology, and musculoskeletal
radiology) now find themselves dealing with the
temporomandibular joints. The authors provide essential
information on TMJ anatomy, dynamics, function and

dysfunction. Correlations between clinical aspects and MRI
findings are discussed and guidance for the correct
interpretation of results is offered. Special findings that are
helpful for differential diagnosis (arthritis, osteochondroma,
synovial chondromatosis) are also examined. Given its
extensive and varied coverage, the book offers a valuable
asset for radiologists, dentists, gnathologists, maxillofacial
surgeons, orthodontists and other professionals seeking a
thorough overview of the subject
