Recognition of patterns in reduced interference time-frequency distributions of the temporomandibular joint sounds
Disorders of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are a source of pain and discomfort for many people. Sounds evoked in the TMJ during jaw movements may indicate pathology. Auscultatory findings and qualitative verbal descriptions of TMJ sounds are inherently subjective and difficult to document for ac...

| Summary: | Disorders of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are a source of pain and discomfort for many people. Sounds evoked in the TMJ during jaw movements may indicate pathology. Auscultatory findings and qualitative verbal descriptions of TMJ sounds are inherently subjective and difficult to document for accurate comparison of diagnoses among different clinicians, or within the same patient over time. Time-frequency analysis of electronically recorded TMJ sounds makes possible a more objective and sophisticated analysis. |
