Specialty Imaging: Temporomandibular Joint and Sleep-Disordered Breathing – A Landmark Resource for Modern Dentists and Radiologists
Dania Tamimi, BDS, DMSc
Elsevier, 2023
In an era where temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and sleep-related breathing conditions are increasingly interlinked with systemic health, Dr. Dania Tamimi’s 2023 publication, Specialty Imaging: Temporomandibular Joint and Sleep-Disordered Breathing, stands as a timely and comprehensive diagnostic atlas for clinicians.
This volume expertly bridges the gap between advanced imaging science and clinical application, focusing on CBCT, MRI, and 3D diagnostic techniques that aid in the evaluation of TMJ pathology and airway obstruction, particularly in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
The book is richly illustrated and grounded in evidence-based practices, making it essential for oral radiologists, sleep medicine practitioners, orthodontists, prosthodontists, and maxillofacial surgeons alike.
