Anatomy of TMJ
• TMJ is a ginglymo-diarthroidal joint that is freely mobile with superior
and inferior joint spaces separated by articular disc.
• “Ginglymus” meaning a hinge joint, allowing motion only backward and
forward in one plane,
• “Arthrodia” meaning a joint of which permits a gliding motion of the
surfaces

Plain radiography( Transcranial)
Most common and most well-established plain film technique for TMJ
This disadvantage is partly compensated for by the fact that most of the early
osseous changes occur laterally in the joint.
It visualize the sagittal view of the lateral aspects of condyle and temporal
component. It is taken in open and close mouth positions.
TMJ Imaging: A Review .Irfan Ashraf Baba..International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research ,
Volume 3 | Issue 8 | August 2016
An intensifying screen of 7 to 15 impulses with a fast film and exposure time
at 65 kVp and 10 mA is used.
27-04-2021
Film position: • flat against patients ear • Centered over TM joint of
interest • Against facial skin parallel to sagittal plane
Position of patient: Head adjusted so sagittal plane is vertical & ala tragus
line parallel to floor
Central Ray 1. The central ray is direct at an angle of 250 (+ve angulation)
from the opposite side, through the cranium and above the petrous ridge
of the temporal bone.
2. The horizontal angulation can be individually corrected for the condylar
long axis, or an average 200 anterior angle may be used.
27-04-2021
Transcranial view in closed and open mouth position
27-04-2021
Transpharyngeal view
• Central ray- Directed from opp side cranially at angle(-5 to -10 degrees)
• Beneath the zygomatic arch, through sigmoid notch posteriorly across
pharynx at the condyle
• Comparison of both condylar heads
Film placement-
Patient holds the cassette flat against patients Ear Centered over TM joint of
interest. Against facial skin parallel to sagittal plane ½ inch anterior to EAM.
It give a sagittal view of the medial pole of condyle.
The patient's mouth is open and a bite block is insert for stability.

27-04-2021
Transorbital projection
A anterior view of the TMJ, perpendicular to transcranial and
transpharyngeal projections.
It is done in open mouth position and depicts entire medial-lateral
aspect of condyle.
The cassette is placed behind the patient's head, perpendicular to the x-
ray beam. The patient open the mouth maximally .
This view is useful for visualize the condyle fractures.
X- ray beam is directed from the front of the patient through the
ipsilateral orbit from medial canthus of eye and TMJ of interest.
TMJ Radiography ( Imaging)
27-04-2021
27-04-2021
• Film position – Behind the head
• Patient position – Cathomeatal line should be 10 degree to the
horizontal with the head tipped downwards.
• Central ray – Tube head in front of patient near the medial canthus of
ipsilateral eye.
• Directed at an angle of +20 degree to strike at right angle to cassette.
27-04-2021
Submentovertex projection
Useful for viewing condyles, zygomatic arches, base of skull and sphenoid
sinuses.
It demonstrate osseous changes from skull base tumors, fractures of
zygomatic arches and integrity and aeration of the sphenoid sinuses.
Image receptor –Positioned parallel to the patients transverse plane. Patient
neck is extended as backwards as possible with cathomeatal line parallel to
the image receptor.
Central beam is directed perpendicular to the image receptor, from below
the mandible towards the vertex of the skull.

Panormic radiography
• Panoramic radiography does not appear in the list of imaging techniques
provided by RDC/TMD.
• Only the lateral part of the condyle can be assessed with this technique,
being limited due to the superimposition of the zygomatic arch and the
base of the skull .
• Panoramic radiography can help evaluate the following:
IMAGING MODALITIES FOR TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DISORDERS: AN UPDATE .DANIEL TALMACEANU et. Clujul Medical Vol. 91, No. 3, 2018: 280-287
Degenerative bone changes (only in late stages; it is inadequate for
the early detection of osseous modifications);
• asymmetries of the condyles,
• hyperplasia, hypoplasia;
• trauma and tumors
• Thick image layers
27-04-2021
The panoramic radiography does not reveal the functional status of the joint
and has a relatively low specificity and sensitivity when compared with CT .

Computed Tomography
• First used for TMJ evaluation in 1980 .
• CT is considered to be the best method for assessing osseous pathologic
conditions of TMJ. It allows a multi planar reconstruction , obtaining 3D
images in closed and opened-mouth positions .
• Signs of degenerative changes in the joint, like surface erosions,
osteophytes, remodeling, subcortical sclerosis, can be evaluated .
• Basically focus on : intactness of the cortex, normal size and shape of the
condyles and their centered position in the fossa, the adequate joint
spaces, centric relation loading zone.

27-04-2021
CBCT
• The main disadvantage of CT, compared to other radiological methods, is
the high cost and the radiation exposure.
• After being introduced in1990, CBCT is now most widely used
Low radiation
dose
High spatial
resolution

• Studies developed by Hintze et al. found no significant differences
between conventional tomography and cone beam CT in the detection of
morphological TMJ changes.
• A review published by Silvia Caruso et al pointed out the main
contributions of cone beam CT in the field of TMJ:

• Soft tissue evaluation is not
possible.
• Artifact may occur due to
patient movement
Limitation of CBCT
27-04-2021
MRI
• MRI is currently considered the reference method for imaging the soft
tissue structures of the TMJ (articular disc, synovial membrane, lateral
pterygoid muscle) .
• The best imaging modality in diagnosing disc displacements .
• MRI could also detect the early signs of TMJ dysfunction, like thickening of
anterior or posterior band, rupture of retrodiscal tissue, changes in shape
of the disc, joint effusion .
27-04-2021
• Images can be obtained in all planes (sagittal, axial, coronal).
• T1 weighted images – osseous tissue
• T2 – Inflammation and joint effusion.
• PD (proton density) – Visualize disc condyle relationship.
27-04-2021
• The slice thickness is important for image quality.
• The most frequent used section thickness is 3 mm. Reducing the slice
thickness improves the quality of the images, but requires longer scanning
time .

Drawings (sagittal oblique views) illustrate disk displacement in the closed-mouth position. (a) A
pathologic condition is considered to be present if the angle between the posterior band and the vertical orientation
of the condyle (twelve o’clock position) exceeds 10°.
(b) Rammelsberg et al recommended that anterior disk displacement of up to 30° be considered normal to better
correlate disk displacement with clinical
symptoms of TMJ dysfunction.

27-04-2021
Limitation of MRI
• The disadvantages of the MRI investigation-
1. It is costly and time consuming;
2. Restricted use in patients with claustrophobia;
3. There is a possibility of missing the portion of condyle having a pseudo
cyst .
27-04-2021
Ultrasonography
• It was first used for TMJ exploration in 1991, by Nabeih et al, using a 3.5
MHz transducer .
• Scanning transducer of 7.5–12 MHz frequency is presently used.
• Patient sits in semi reclining position.
• The transducer is placed over the joint parallel to the long axis of the
mandible.
• The disc is situated between two hyperechoic lines represented by the
mandibular condyle and the articular eminence .

27-04-2021
• During the examination it is possible to directly observe the joint disk
move when the mouth is opening and closing.
• If the disc is displaced in the closed-mouth position, the diagnosis is
disc displacement. If the disc returns to its normal position during
opening, the diagnosis is disc displacement with reduction
• A 70–85 % agreement was seen in studies comparing the results of
MRI and USG.

Arthrography
• Nørgaard in the 1940s.
• Arthrography is indicated for an evaluation of the soft-tissue components
of the TMJ, especially disk position, function, and morphology in those
patients presenting with a suspected internal derangement .
Single
contrast
• Radiopaque dye is injected
in both joint spaces.
Double
contrast
• Small amount of air is
injected after dye

Radionuclide imaging
• It is based on radiotracer method, which assumes that radioactive atoms or
molecules in an organism behave in a manner identical to that their stable
counterparts because they are chemically indistinguishable .
• The TMJ is ideal for SPECT (single proton emission computed tomography), as
TMJ is a small joint situated close to the skull base.
• In normal individual, the perfusion is symmetrical .
• Sensitivity is high, its specificity is low.
• Inflammation, trauma or tumors increase the local isotope concentration.
• Use as a screening method.

Pneumatization
• Extensive pneumatization of the mastoid bone can involve the glenoid
fossa and articular eminence.
• Important to know before any TMJ surgery
• Complications can occur during TMJ surgery due to forceful flap retraction,
dissection or with placement of screws in cases where fossa-eminence
prostheses are required.
27-04-2021
Internal derangements of TMJ
• Internal derangement (ID) is defined as a mechanical fault of the joint that
interferes with smooth joint function.
• Disc displacement is the most common cause of ID.
• Up to 34% of asymptomatic volunteers can have anterior disc displacement
and 23% of patients with derangement can have normal disc positon.
• The displacement can be anterior, anterolateral, anteromedial, lateral,
medial and posterior.
• Anterior disc displacement can be – with reduction (ADR)
without reduction.(ADNR)
White and Pharoh’s Principles of Radiology
27-04-2021
• On MRI, the normal disc has a low signal intensity relative to the signal
from the joint space immediately surrounding it.
• In other words, the disc signal is lower (i.e., darker). In contrast, the signal
intensity of the posterior attachment is usually higher (i.e.,brighter).
• the normal biconcave disc has a “bow tie” shape
• In the closed mouth position, the normal disc is positioned with the thick
posterior band located either directly superior to or slightly anterior to the
condylar head.(12 ‘o clock)
• The thin intermediate zone of the disc is located anterior to the condyle.
• In all positions of mouth opening, the thin intermediate zone should
remain the articulating surface of the disc between the condyle and the
articular eminence.
27-04-2021
27-04-2021
ADR
• Disc returns to normal position
on opening the mouth
producing “reciprocal click”
ADNR
• There is limited mouth opening
and deviation of the jaw to the
affected side(closed lock)

Osteochondritis dissecans and avascular
necrosis
• Common clinical features of OCD/AVN of the mandibular condyle
include pain and joint disability. Pain is commonly over the joint and
along the third division of the trigeminal nerve.
• Radiologic changes of OCD and AVN of the mandibular condyle are
frequently associated with joint effusion and internal derangement of
the disc.

Rheumatoid arthritis
• heterogeneous group of systemic disorders that manifests as synovial
membrane inflammation in several joints.
• The TMJ becomes involved in approximately 1/2 of affected patients.
• The characteristic imaging findings are a result of villous synovitis, which
leads to formation of synovial granulomatous tissue (pannus) that grows
into fibrocartilage and bone, releasing enzymes that destroy the articular
surfaces and underlying bone.
White and Pharoh Principles of Radiology 2 SA edition
27-04-2021
• Patients with TMJ involvement complain of swelling, pain, tenderness,
stiffness on opening, limited range of motion, and crepitus.
• The chin appears receded, and an anterior open bite is a common
finding because the condyles settle in an anterosuperior position as the
articulating components are progressively destroyed.

Tumor like condition
• Synovial chondromatosis
• Synovial chondromatosis (SC) is a benign condition with
chondrometaplasia of the synovial membrane and formation of
cartilaginous nodules.
• These nodules can become detached and form loose bodies which later
calcify.
• Synovial chondromatosis typically involves large joints, such as the
knee, hip, and elbow. It is rare in TMJ.
• superior compartment of TMJ
• The radiologic findings of SC include calcified loose bodies, soft tissue
swelling, widening of the joint space, irregularities of the joint surface,
and sclerosis of the glenoid fossa and/or mandibular condyle.
27-04-2021

Radiographic appearances of TMJ anomalies in relation to various imaging
techniques
TMJ Imaging: A Review Irfan Ashraf Baba International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research . Volume 3 | Issue 8 | August 2016
27-04-2021
Conclusion
• The reliability of a complex joint such as that of the jaw is the result of a
stable interaction of soft tissue and bony structures. In spite of its daily
exposure to wear and tear, simple changes in the TMJ are rare.
• Imaging of TMJ should be performed on a case by case basis
depending upon clinical signs and symptoms.
• Understanding of the TMJ anatomy, biomechanics, and the imaging
manifestations of diseases is important to accurately recognize and
manage these various pathologies.

  • 2. Contents • Introduction to TMJ Imaging Modalities of TMJ • 1. Imaging of osseous structures • 2. Imaging of soft tissues • 3. Abnormal Findings in TMJ • 4. References 27-04-2021
  • 4. Anatomy of TMJ • TMJ is a ginglymo-diarthroidal joint that is freely mobile with superior and inferior joint spaces separated by articular disc. • “Ginglymus” meaning a hinge joint, allowing motion only backward and forward in one plane, • “Arthrodia” meaning a joint of which permits a gliding motion of the surfaces 27-04-2021
  • 5. Components of TMJ • 1. Glenoid Fossa & Articular Eminence/Protuberance • 2. Mandibular Condyle • 3. Articular Disk & Capsule • 4. Synovial Fluid • 5. Discal Ligaments • 6. Posterior Attachment or Retrodiscal Tissue or Bilaminar Zone • 7. Ligaments associated with TMJ • 8. Muscles of Mastication 27-04-2021
  • 6. TMJ imaging technique • 1. Plain radiography • 2. Panormic radiography • 3.CBCT • 4. Ultrasonography • 5. MRI 27-04-2021
  • 7. TMJ Imaging Osseous structure Soft tissue Plain radiography Panormic radiography CT CBCT Arthrography MRI USG 27-04-2021
  • 8. Imaging of osseous structure 27-04-2021
  • 9. Plain radiography( Transcranial) Most common and most well-established plain film technique for TMJ This disadvantage is partly compensated for by the fact that most of the early osseous changes occur laterally in the joint. It visualize the sagittal view of the lateral aspects of condyle and temporal component. It is taken in open and close mouth positions. TMJ Imaging: A Review .Irfan Ashraf Baba..International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research , Volume 3 | Issue 8 | August 2016 An intensifying screen of 7 to 15 impulses with a fast film and exposure time at 65 kVp and 10 mA is used. 27-04-2021
  • 10. Film position: • flat against patients ear • Centered over TM joint of interest • Against facial skin parallel to sagittal plane Position of patient: Head adjusted so sagittal plane is vertical & ala tragus line parallel to floor Central Ray 1. The central ray is direct at an angle of 250 (+ve angulation) from the opposite side, through the cranium and above the petrous ridge of the temporal bone. 2. The horizontal angulation can be individually corrected for the condylar long axis, or an average 200 anterior angle may be used. 27-04-2021
  • 11. Transcranial view in closed and open mouth position 27-04-2021
  • 12. Transpharyngeal view • Central ray- Directed from opp side cranially at angle(-5 to -10 degrees) • Beneath the zygomatic arch, through sigmoid notch posteriorly across pharynx at the condyle • Comparison of both condylar heads Film placement- Patient holds the cassette flat against patients Ear Centered over TM joint of interest. Against facial skin parallel to sagittal plane ½ inch anterior to EAM. It give a sagittal view of the medial pole of condyle. The patient's mouth is open and a bite block is insert for stability. 27-04-2021
  • 14. Transorbital projection A anterior view of the TMJ, perpendicular to transcranial and transpharyngeal projections. It is done in open mouth position and depicts entire medial-lateral aspect of condyle. The cassette is placed behind the patient's head, perpendicular to the x- ray beam. The patient open the mouth maximally . This view is useful for visualize the condyle fractures. X- ray beam is directed from the front of the patient through the ipsilateral orbit from medial canthus of eye and TMJ of interest. TMJ Radiography ( Imaging) 27-04-2021
  • 16. • Film position – Behind the head • Patient position – Cathomeatal line should be 10 degree to the horizontal with the head tipped downwards. • Central ray – Tube head in front of patient near the medial canthus of ipsilateral eye. • Directed at an angle of +20 degree to strike at right angle to cassette. 27-04-2021
  • 17. Submentovertex projection Useful for viewing condyles, zygomatic arches, base of skull and sphenoid sinuses. It demonstrate osseous changes from skull base tumors, fractures of zygomatic arches and integrity and aeration of the sphenoid sinuses. Image receptor –Positioned parallel to the patients transverse plane. Patient neck is extended as backwards as possible with cathomeatal line parallel to the image receptor. Central beam is directed perpendicular to the image receptor, from below the mandible towards the vertex of the skull. White and Pharoah’s Oral radiology 27-04-2021
  • 20. Panormic radiography • Panoramic radiography does not appear in the list of imaging techniques provided by RDC/TMD. • Only the lateral part of the condyle can be assessed with this technique, being limited due to the superimposition of the zygomatic arch and the base of the skull . • Panoramic radiography can help evaluate the following: IMAGING MODALITIES FOR TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DISORDERS: AN UPDATE .DANIEL TALMACEANU et. Clujul Medical Vol. 91, No. 3, 2018: 280-287 Degenerative bone changes (only in late stages; it is inadequate for the early detection of osseous modifications); • asymmetries of the condyles, • hyperplasia, hypoplasia; • trauma and tumors • Thick image layers 27-04-2021
