Analysis of Criteria for MRI Diagnosis of TMJ Disc Displacement and Arthralgia

Figure 1

MRI images of the TMJ in the sagittal plane. MRI images in the central part of two joints, highlighting the sagittal versus the angulated planes. The image on the left shows the standard sagittal plane, and the posterior band of the disc is not visible. The image on the right shows the angulated plane of the same joint, and the posterior band is visible as indicated by the arrow. The insets in both images diagram the scanning planes [8].
