Abstract:
Magnetic Resonance represents the best method for shoulder study, since it enables us to emphasize all the parts making part of this area thanks to high anatomical details and a comprehensive view of it. Conventional radiographic techniques provide only limited evaluation of soft-tissue anatomy; ultrasonography, on the other hand, allows the visualization of tendons, synovial spaces and muscle fascicles but it is shown to be unfit above all for osseous structure evaluation: TC, finally, is not being employed at present in shoulder study.
