Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD)
disorders TMD) is a common, multifaceted disorder that can cause joint bone destruction in severe cases. Fractures and injuries of the mandibular condyle are equally common in maxillofacial trauma. Since the temporomandibular joint (TMJ
joint TMJ) is located at the base of the skull and the surrounding anatomical structures overlap, it is clinically difficult to detect the lesion early. Therefore, the examination and diagnosis methods are especially important for the early diagnosis of this disease, and radiological imaging is a common means to diagnose TMJ lesions.

Most routine temporomandibular joint examinations are X-ray plain film, X-ray tomography, arthrography, joint ultrasound, MRI and CT.
The Aquilion ONE 320-row CT is the world’s most advanced imaging device and is the only CT in the world that can achieve true dynamic volume imaging. A four-dimensional dynamic view of the internal structures of the body. Even the highest-end 64-row CTs currently used in major hospitals can only show the three-dimensional structure of organs or individual levels of function, whereas the Aquilion
The Aquilion ONE 320-row CT, with its extremely wide detector coverage, can reproduce the three-dimensional structure of human organs, but also reflect the functional status and blood flow of the entire organ, which is equivalent to a digital camera capable of peering into the internal structure and tissues of the human body.
Using 320-row CT dynamic volumetric imaging technology, the motion images of the mandible and temporomandibular joint were established for the first time, thus providing a new method for the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint diseases and mandibular condyles and the evaluation of their therapeutic effects.
