The size of the joint space – provide indirect
information about the position and shape of
the disc
The position of the head of the condyle within
the fossa
The shape and conditions of the glenoid fossa &
articular eminence (on the lateral aspect only)
The shape of the head of the condyle & the
condition of the articular surface (on the lateral
aspect only)
A comparison of both sides
The range and type of movement of the condyle
A comparison of the degree of movement on
both sides
Transpharyngeal
Main indications
TMJ pain dysfunction syndrome
To investigate the presence of joint disease,
particularly osteoarthritis and rheumatoid
arthritis
To investigate pathological conditions
affecting the condylar head, including cysts or
tumors
Fractures of the neck and head of the condyle
Transpharyngeal
Diagnostic information
The shape of the head of condyle and condition
of the articular surface from lateral aspect
A comparison of both condylar heads

Reverse Towne’s
Diagnostic information
The shape of the condylar heads and condition
of the articular surfaces from the posterior aspect
A direct comparsion of both condyles
Ref. 1
Transorbital (Zimmer’s view)
Main indications
To investigate the articular surface of the
condyle and disease within the joint
High fractures of the condylar neck to show
medio-lateral displacement
This view is rarely used due to
the risk of damage to the lens of
eye from radiation
However, it provides an AP view of
the condylar head-an aspect not
shown by other radiographs
Mouth open

Transorbital
Diagnostic information
The shape of the condylar head and neck from
the anterior aspect
The condition of the articular surface from the
anterior aspect
Ref. 2
Tomography
Main indications
Full assessment of the whole of the joint to
determine the presence and site of any
bone disease or abnormality
To investigate the condyle and articular
fossa when the patient is unable to open
the mouth
Assessment of fractures of the articular
fossa and intracapsular fractures

condition of the articular surface including the
medial and lateral aspects
The shape and condition of the articular fossa
and eminence

下列何者是AP view為：
Arthrography
A. Panoramic radiography
Computed tomography
B. Transcranial projection
Magnetic resonance imaging
C. Transorbital
Artheroscopy
D. Modified Town’s view
Main indications
Diagnostic information
Arthrography
Main indications
Longstanding TMJ pain dysfunction
unresponsive to simple treatments
Persistent history of locking
Limited opening of unknown etiology
Main contraindications
Acute joint infection
Allergy to iodine or contrast medium
Arthrography
Diagnostic information
Dynamic information on the position of the
joint components and disc as they move in
relation to one another
Static images of the joint components with the
mouth closed and with the mouth open. Any
anterior or anteromedial displacement of the
disc can be observed
The integrity of the disc,
i.e. any perforations
Note: Outline the lower joint space
usually provides more useful
information on the disc
Ref. 1
Computed tomography
Main indications
It provides sectional or slice images of the joint
It can produce images of the hard and soft
tissues in the joint, including the disc, in different
planes
Diagnostic information
The shape of the condyle and the condition of
the articular surface
The condition of the glenoid fossa and eminence
The position and shape of the disc
The integrity of the disc and its soft tissue attachments
The nature of any condylar head disease
Computed tomography
Ref. 4
Magnetic resonance imaging
Main indications
When diagnosis of internal derangements is
in doubt
As a preoperative assessment before disc surgery
Anterior
displaced
disc
Ref. 4
Condylar
head
Arthroscopy
Main indications
It gives direct visualization of the TMJ
and allows certain interventional procedures
to be performed, including
Washing out the joint with saline
Introduction of steroids directly into the joint
Division of adhesions
Removal of loose bodies from within the joint
Arthroscopy is considered as the last
line of investigation before full surgical
exploration of the joint is carried
Arthroscopy
