In contrast, TMJ OA involves pain in the TMJ associated with inflammation and degenerative processes of the bony components revealed by imaging techniques or coarse crepitation [4].
Each of the bony components of the cervical vertebrae should be evaluated for fractures on all the available images in different planes and 3D reconstruction.
Due to its relatively incongruous bony components, which make a great range of motion possible, the DRUJ depends on tenuous ligamentous support.
MRI signal characteristics have been described as heterogeneous, with central areas of T2 hypointensity consistent with developed bony components, and adjacent hyperintensity representing fat and soft tissue components [5].
Here we identify a new acoustic portal into the ear complex, the tympanoperiotic complex (TPC) and a plausible mechanism by which sound is transduced into the bony components.
The dorsal branch of the MFB fills this funnel and is thus in contact with all of these bony components (Figure 3).
Often delicate elements, including different bony components and remains of soft parts, are poorly discernable or cannot be seen in visible light but fluoresce conspicuously under filtered UV [e.g. 6].
In the scans showing the anatomic context around the odontocete TPC (Figure 5), the dorsal branch of the MFB fills the bony funnel and is in contact with all of its bony components, including the thinnest patches of the tympanic bone and a thick portion of the dense periotic bone, specifically the parabullary ridge of the periotic.
Average and minimum cross sectional areas of the bony components of the cortical and trabecular bone specimens were calculated from the thresholded µCT images.
Although 'subchondral bone' has been defined in a number of ways, the term most often refers to the bony components lying distal to calcified cartilage [ 3, 4].
