MRI of normal shoulder intratendinous signal MRI of rotator cuff full-thickness tear. Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound [46] are comparable in efficacy and helpful in diagnosis, although both have a false positive rate of 15–20%. [47] MRI can reliably detect most full-thickness tears, although very small pinpoint tears may be missed.
Anterior shoulder dislocation and/or repeated anterior shoulder subluxations. [2] Diagnostic method: X-ray and MRI. Differential diagnosis: Anterior labroligamentous periosteal sleeve avulsion, Rotator Cuff Tears, SLAP Lesion, Impingement, Perthes lesion, Glenolabral articular disruption, Humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament.

A torn rotator cuff can occur following trauma to the shoulder or it can occur through the "wear and tear" on tendons, most commonly the supraspinatus tendon found under the acromion. Rotator cuff injuries are commonly associated with motions that require repeated overhead motions or forceful pulling motions.
Ultrasonography, arthrography and MRI can be used to detect rotator cuff muscle pathology. MRI is the best imaging test prior to arthroscopic surgery. [2] Due to lack of understanding of the pathoaetiology, and lack of diagnostic accuracy in the assessment process by many physicians, [19] several opinions are recommended before intervention.
The supraspinatus (pl.: supraspinati) is a relatively small muscle of the upper back that runs from the supraspinous fossa superior portion of the scapula (shoulder blade) to the greater tubercle of the humerus. It is one of the four rotator cuff muscles and also abducts the arm at the shoulder. The spine of the scapula separates the ...
Subacromial bursitis. Subacromial bursitis is a condition caused by inflammation of the bursa that separates the superior surface of the supraspinatus tendon (one of the four tendons of the rotator cuff) from the overlying coraco-acromial ligament, acromion, and coracoid (the acromial arch) and from the deep surface of the deltoid muscle.
