title: [Dynamic tomoscopy. Experimental use of a new roentgen technic for the temporomandibular joint].
abstract: A new radiographic technique and its experimental application for the temporomandibular joint is introduced. The technique was discovered some 30 years ago, then rediscovered and developed for practical use in the late 1960's by two researchers, working entirely independently. In dynamic tomoscopy, a series of underexposed radiographs (usually 8) is produced with the X-ray source at different angles with respect to the object. Each of the resultant films bears an image of the object containing all details sharp in design and without blurring. This set of films is placed as a sandwich on a special viewer. Turning a dial on the viewer brings successively into focus the laminagraphic images of any desired plane. Shifting continually from one to another throughout the entire depth of the object creates in the mind's eye a three-dimensional radiograph, a dynamic laminagram.
