Reliability of diagnostic imaging for degenerative diseases with osseous changes in the temporomandibular joint with special emphasis on subchondral cyst

ConclusionsThe reliabilities of panoramic TMJ projection and CT images were clarified for each characteristic appearance. The results support the bone contusion theory for the formation of subchondral cysts in the TMJ. A possible improvement in reliability is suggested relative to MRI findings.
