| Description | The authors present their experience with temporomandibular joint examinition with ultrasound. A group of thirty patiens with the diagnosis of intracapsular lesion or inflammatory-degenerative disease was evaluated, focusing mainly on intraarticular pathologic changes. Each of the patiens underwent first of all aultrasound examination followed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The results provided by MRI were considered to be precise and werw used as a standard for further comparison. The results of the work show that ultrasonography compared to MRI reaches 90% accuracy in diagnostic of the degenerative disc changes and 71% in case of the discdislocation. Therefore it can be said that ultasonography becomes an alternative diagnostic method to MRI, which nevertheless currently cannot be fully replaced by that and remains a "golden standard". |
