T emporomandibular disorders (TMD) is a broad term for a number of clinical signs and symptoms involving temporomandibular joint (TMJ), masticatory muscles and associated structures (1). They result when the muscles used in mastication and the joints of the jaw fail to work in combination with each other (2). Disc displacement, congenital and developmental disorders, inflammatory disorders, hypermobility, ankylosis, fractures and tumors are some of commonly encountered TMD in clinical practice (3). The fact that they are the prime cause of non-dental pain in the orofacial region (4) made the clinician to utilize various imaging modalities to discover the underlying pathology. Imaging studies are significant because they provide added information about the structure and function of various joint apparatus. Using panoramic and other TMJ radiographs, clinician could recognize changes only in the bony architecture of the joint structure. With the introduction of TMJ arthrography, it was possible to visualize articular disc by injecting dye into the joint space (5). However, several disadvantages exist with this technique. First of all, it is an invasive procedure; secondly, it is not always possible to accurately inject dye into the joint space and finally, the introduction of fluid into the joint has the potential for causing a distorted image. To overcome these difficulties, attempts have been made to visualize the disc by computed tomography (CT) (6). Even though the use of CT involves exposure of the Journal of Oral Health Community Dentistry &
