Optimized imaging of your temporomandibular joints using MRI

If imaging of the temporomandibular joints is required as part of dental functional diagnostics, a magnetic resonance tomogram is the preferred method according to current guidelines. In other words, no X-rays, but tomographic images of individual tissue layers based on radiation-free magnetic technology.

The guidelines for temporomandibular joint diagnostics are clear – and they were co-developed by our founder, Priv.-Doz. Dr. Ahlers, as a member of the relevant guideline commissions. He also optimized the production of such images as part of a working group at the UKE. Today, various practices produce such images for our patients on this basis. We specified the exact parameters of the examination – in writing and using special bite transfer templates. This makes the images much more informative.

After the examination, we receive the images by CD or data line and analyze them for you and with you. For this purpose, our practice has state-of-the-art computer equipment which displays the digital images in the same way as in specialist radiology practices and hospital departments – using special software from Siemens and large-format flat screens.
