A number of imaging modalities, such as conventional radiography, arthrography, ultrasonography, and MR imaging, can be used in the evaluation of shoulder pain related to impingement, tendinosis, and rotator cuff tear. Of these techniques, only MR imaging provides anatomic information coupled with superior soft-tissue contrast. MR imaging of the shoulder effectively demonstrates a variety of morphologic abnormalities that may be associated with tendon degeneration. Rotator cuff tears are also well depicted and may be further characterized with regard to tendon involvement, degree of retraction, and secondary muscular atrophy.
多种成像方式，如传统X线摄影、关节造影、超声检查和磁共振成像（MR成像），可用于评估与撞击、肌腱病和肩袖撕裂相关的肩部疼痛。在这些技术中，只有MR成像能提供解剖信息并具有出色的软组织对比度。肩部的MR成像能有效显示各种可能与肌腱退变相关的形态学异常。肩袖撕裂也能很好地显示，并且可以根据肌腱受累情况、回缩程度和继发性肌肉萎缩进一步进行特征描述。
