Direct sagittal CT of the temporomandibular joint

D C Simon et al. Radiology. 1985 Nov.

Abstract

An apparatus for direct sagittal computed tomography (CT) of the temporomandibular joint is described. Direct sagittal CT allows visualization of the meniscus and of osseous changes of the mandibular condyle without the technical problems and limitations associated with sagittal reformations from axial scans. The device can be constructed easily and economically and adapted to most CT installations.
