Abstract:
Arthrotomography is a good method for the evaluation of incomplete or complete tears of the supraspinatus tendon, the assessment of the size of tears and the quality of the nonruptured part. CT arthrography is useful in the evaluation of the subscapularis tendon and the labral-capsular components. It depends on the clinical symptoms and the result of primary arthrography whether both methods are performed in one session or not. Based on the experience of 1200 arthro(tomo)graphy and axial CT arthrography examinations, the procedure and results in our institution are reported.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
