Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the shoulder is rapidly evolving as the choice diagnostic procedure for management of shoulder derangement, particularly for soft tissue injuries not well delineated by conventional radiography. With application of appropriate MRI protocol/sequences and familiarity with applied shoulder MRI anatomy, valuable diagnostic information may be derived that can greatly assist management/therapy of common problems, such as rotator cuff tears, impingement, and instability as well as less frequent causes of shoulder pain and dysfunction.Keywords
