Quantitative assessment of isotope activity in the temporomandibular joint regions as a means of assessing unilateral condylar hypertrophy.
The uptake of radioisotope in the temporomandibular joints of normal subjects was quantified to act as baseline in studies of unilateral condylar hyperplasia. Any difference in activity between the right and left sides greater than 10% appears to be significant.
