This study validates a method to add spatially correlated statistical noise to an image,
applied to transaxial X-ray CT images of the head to simulate exposure reduction by up to …

A systematic method for comprehensive visualization of the temporal bone structures using
thin-section, high-resolution computed tomography (CT) was developed. In relation to the …

Direct sagittal computed tomography (CT) was performed in 454 patients thought to have
internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Of 905 joints examined, 71 …

Two hundred patients with suspected displaced temporomandibular joint meniscus were
studied with computed tomography. In 75 cases confirmation of the CT diagnosis was …

CT may be a practical alternative to arthrography for diagnosing displacement of the
meniscus in the TMJ. In a study of 75 patients, 69 were diagnosed by CT to have meniscal …

Fifteen patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction were examined by computed
tomography using standard CT techniques. The data obtained were evaluated and …

We conducted a study to establish high-yield criteria for urgent cranial computed
tomography (CT) scanning in both medical and surgical conditions. Patients were scanned …

Splint therapy is often the initial nonsurgical treatment selected to manage patients who
have anterior displacement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) meniscus. It is usually …

In the last few years an increasing number of dental diagnosticians have experimented with
innovative" high-tech" techniques to obtain information about the masticatory system. 32-34 …

Materials and Methods Axial sections were obtained on Toshiba TCT-900S and TCT-600S
scanners and GE 8800 scanners. Scans were 1-1. 5-mm thick with 1-mm contiguous …
