Among 500 CT scan of temporomandibular joint (TMJ), examined since 1982 by bilateral direct sagittal method (Department of Radiology, Pr. A. TREHEUX, CHU Nancy-Brabois), the authors have retained 14 cases of patients with symptoms related to TMJ's dysfunction cured by surgery (Department of Maxillo Facial Surgery, Pr STRICKER, CHU Nancy).

[Computerized tomography of sagittal sections. A noninvasive alternative in the exploration of temporomandibular joint dysfunction].

Important advances in the use of CT scan imaging for exploration of the temporomandibular joint include the obtaining of direct sagittal section images and the possibility of surveillance. This avoids the need for more invasive and painful techniques such as arthrography. The position of the meniscus can be determined from either direct or indirect signs and bone structures and muscles are particularly clearly demonstrated.
