Shoulder MRI and ultrasound are key for diagnosing various conditions like dislocations and impingement. The choice of imaging depends on the specific clinical syndrome and local practice patterns.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic imaging
  • Musculoskeletal radiology

Background:

  • Clinical assessment localizes shoulder symptoms to specific syndromes.
  • Different syndromes require tailored imaging investigations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the roles of MRI and ultrasound in diagnosing shoulder pathologies.
  • To discuss the selection criteria for each imaging modality.

Main Methods:

  • Review of indications for shoulder MRI and ultrasound.
  • Comparison of the utility of each modality for specific clinical conditions.

Main Results:

  • MRI is primary for recurrent dislocation, SLAP lesions, PSI, cartilage issues, synovial disease, tumors, and infection.
  • Ultrasound excels in impingement, AC joint disease, dynamic assessment, and guided therapy.

  • Both modalities have roles in adhesive capsulitis.

    • Conclusions:

    • The choice between MRI and ultrasound for shoulder symptoms is guided by the suspected clinical diagnosis.
    • Local variations in imaging utilization exist, influenced by syndrome prevalence.
