The imaging evaluation of the rotator cuff augments the clinical evaluation. Radiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging all have various roles in the assessment of the rotator cuff, which can be combined with arthrography for added detail. Furthermore, ultrasound is a very useful technique that provides functional information that is not offered by simple anatomic imaging.
