  • Title: Non-contrast MRI diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder.
    Author: Chi AS, Kim J, Long SS, Morrison WB, Zoga AC.
    Journal: Clin Imaging; 2017; 44():46-50. PubMed ID: 28410478.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To investigate non-contrast MRI findings of clinical adhesive capsulitis. METHODS: 31 non-contrast, non-arthrographic, shoulder MRIs were evaluated for coracohumeral ligament thickness, rotator interval infiltration, and axillary recess thickening/edema. RESULTS: In detection of adhesive capsulitis, sensitivity is 76.7% and specificity is 53.3% for coracohumeral ligament thickening, sensitivity is 66.7% and specificity is 55.2% for coracohumeral ligament thickening and rotator interval infiltration, and sensitivity is 23.3% and specificity is 86.7% for coracohumeral ligament thickening, rotator interval infiltration, and axillary recess thickening/edema. CONCLUSIONS: Adhesive capsulitis can be accurately diagnosed on non-contrast MRI shoulder examinations with appropriate clinical criteria without direct MR arthrography.
