Several different imaging techniques are available for evaluating the rotator cuff and biceps tendon. The common disorders of impingement, rotator cuff tears and biceps tendonitis are discussed along with the role which the various imaging modalities can play in establishing their diagnosis. Plain radiographs can be helpful particularly with a history of trauma but give limited information on the soft tissues. Ultrasound is a useful and inexpensive means of assessing the rotator cuff and biceps tendon but has a number of limitations and varying reports on its accuracy. Computed tomography (CT) is most helpful in the evaluation of shoulder trauma but gives limited information on the soft tissues. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an accurate imaging modality for evaluating the rotator cuff and biceps tendon, allowing visualisation of the soft tissues and the adjacent bony structures.
有几种不同的成像技术可用于评估肩袖和肱二头肌肌腱。文中讨论了常见的撞击症、肩袖撕裂和肱二头肌肌腱炎等疾病，以及各种成像方式在确立其诊断中所能发挥的作用。普通X线平片在有外伤史时可能会有帮助，但对软组织的信息显示有限。超声是评估肩袖和肱二头肌肌腱的一种有用且廉价的方法，但有一些局限性，关于其准确性的报道也各不相同。计算机断层扫描（CT）在评估肩部创伤时最有帮助，但对软组织的信息显示有限。磁共振成像（MRI）是评估肩袖和肱二头肌肌腱的一种准确成像方式，能够显示软组织和相邻的骨性结构。
