Simplified apparatus for fronto-sagittal and two-dimensional echography exclusively for the temporomandibular joints (atm)

摘要

An apparatus for two-dimensional echography in frontal and sagittal plane, comprising:a extra buccal, semicircular, flexible, in terms of the head of a patient, the respective telescopic skull edition;two extra buccal ultrasound probes, the right- and left-hand extra buccal ultrasound probe, which are fastened on the skull edition and on the skull edition at their point of connection are pivotally connected, wherein the extra buccal ultrasound probes are configured to high-frequency molecular shock waves only in the sagittal plane of temporomandibular joints of the patients, in which, as is the case with the classical echo chromatography devices in order for the ear is not perceptible sound waves, the only for the region of the temporomandibular joints are preset in a sagittal plane; wherein the right and left extra buccal probe are connected with the skull edition, about 2 cm in front of both of the outer ears of a patient are arranged and in contact with the skin of the patient remain;a intrabuccal, flexible, semicircular, telescopic, adapts to the upper jaw maxillary edition, is configured for the inside of the mouth of the patient can be adjusted to fit; andtwo intrabuccal ultrasound probes, the right- and left-hand intrabuccal ultrasonic probe to the maxillary edition are fixed, whereby the intrabuccal ultrasound probes are configured to high-frequency molecular shock waves in the frontal plane, in which, as is the case with the classical echo chromatography devices in order for the ear is not perceptible sound waves, the only for the region of the temporomandibular joints are preset in the frontal plane, with the right and left intrabuccal ultrasonic probe in contact on the mucous membrane of the retromolären region of the upper jaw; anda screen, which allows the right and left temporomandibular joint (atm) at the same time in a sagittal and frontal plane to visualize them, wherein this simultaneous visualization of the comparison between the right and left temporomandibular joint (atm), wherein the display screen with the two semicircular ..
