MRI images of the temporomandibular joint. (A–C) Right temporomandibular joint (TMJ) of a 42-year-old woman diagnosed with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) without idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR). (A) T2-weighted gradient-echo image, (B) T1-weighted image, both in the oblique sagittal view and (C) T1-weighted image in the oblique coronal view depict normal morphology of the mandibular condyle (arrows), and normal position of the disc (arrowheads). (D–F) Right TMJ of a 33-year-old woman diagnosed with TMD and also ICR. (D) T2-weighted gradient-echo image and (E) T1-weighted image, both in the oblique sagittal view show severe condylar resorption with reduced antero-posterior diameter, height, and resorbed, irregular superior area of the mandibular condyle (arrows). An irregular, flattened articular eminence is also noted. (F) T1-weighted image in the oblique coronal view demonstrates the deformed superior part of the condyle (arrows).
