A study of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearances of the temporomandibular joint has been made using both cadaver material and asymptomatic volunteers. In the case of cadaver material, a jig has enabled reproducible orientation and repositioning of the components of the joint after dissection. More usual imaging modalities have been compared with MRI. In living subjects, methods have been devised to compare the appearances of joints in open and closed positions. These methods have yielded information about the morphological correlation of MRI appearances.
