   Introduction
 
Magnetic resonance imaging is an excellent modality for imaging pathological processes of the shoulder joint. It allows high-resolution imaging of all anatomic structures, including the glenoid, the humeral head, the articular cartilage, the acromion, the muscles and tendons of the rotator cuff, the labrum, the biceps tendon, and the glenohumeral ligaments, in multiple orthogonal planes. Numerous technical options and several pulse sequences can be utilized for the performance of magnetic resonance imaging of the shoulder. The aim of this review is to update orthopaedic surgeons on the technical aspects of performing magnetic resonance imaging of the shoulder. In addition, this report will define the normal anatomy of the shoulder as demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging and review the spectrum of disease detectable with this technique.

After reviewing this article, the reader should (1) have a basic understanding of the physics, pulse sequences, and terminology of magnetic resonance imaging; (2) be . . . [Full Text of this Article]
