The shoulder is now accessible to MRI owing to recent technical advances. The major advantages of this modality include its noninvasive nature, lack of ionizing radiation, excellent contrast and anatomic resolution, multiplanar imaging capability, and ability as a single imaging modality to evaluate simultaneously for a wide variety of pathologic processes. It is proving its utility particularly in the evaluation of the painful shoulder and the diagnosis of glenohumeral instability, rotator cuff impingement, tendinitis, and tear. We believe that with greater experience and large comparative studies, MRI will clearly demonstrate its superiority in evaluation of the shoulder and will almost entirely replace arthrography, as has occurred with the knee.
由于最近的技术进步，现在可以对肩部进行磁共振成像（MRI）检查。这种检查方式的主要优点包括无创性、无电离辐射、出色的对比度和解剖分辨率、多平面成像能力，以及作为单一成像方式能够同时评估多种病理过程的能力。它在评估肩部疼痛以及诊断盂肱关节不稳、肩袖撞击症、肌腱炎和撕裂方面的效用正在得到证明。我们相信，随着经验的积累和大规模对比研究的开展，MRI将在肩部评估中清楚地显示出其优越性，并几乎完全取代关节造影，就像在膝关节检查中所发生的那样。
