. Steps in the manual annotation of the temporomandibular joint using the negative volume approach, which also underlies the automated procedure proposed by the authors of the study. This manual annotation takes about one hour and requires drawing masks around the complex structures of the mandible and the temporal bone in three views — sagittal, coronal, and axial — for each slice of the volume of interest, until the resulting 3D reconstruction allows to subtract the negative volume “ball” from a manually inserted sphere.
