A member asked:
Is there a ct scan i can see of arthritis of the jaw , so i can show my mum ?

Yes: There are arthroscopic examinations of the jaw. What are you trying to accomplish with the test? If you could show arthritic changes of the jaw joint, what would you do next? You don't just take tests for the sake of taking tests. There has to be a reason for it. Surgery of the jaw is not usually an option.
