Abstract:
This study was undertaken to develop a three-dimensional reconstruction system using magnetic resonance (MR) images in order to visualize three-dimensional images of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) including the disk. The computerized reconstruction program (written using Visual Basic for Windows, Microsoft Corp.) could reliably generate three-dimensional images of the TMJ. Image processing techniques made the tracing of images unnecessary, reduced complex human manipulation and associated measurement errors. This system, capable of treating fifty thousand pixels or more, generates smooth three-dimensional images of the TMJ.
