  • Title: [MR of the shoulder joint with surface coils at 1.5 tesla. Its anatomy and possible clinical use].

    Journal: Rofo; 1987 Mar; 146(3):294-9. PubMed ID: 3031760.
    Abstract:
    High spatial resolution magnetic resonance images of the shoulder were obtained in axial, sagittal and coronal orientations using a 1.5 T imaging system and anatomically shaped, wrap-around surface coils. Variations in scapular position induced by patient positioning change the relationship of the planes to the shoulder anatomy and make reproducibility of sagittal and coronal planes difficult. We, therefore, use--after axial orientation--image-oblique planes perpendicular and parallel to the glenoid fossa. In this manner MRI can visualise the anatomic structures of the shoulder including rotator cuff, long biceps tendon, articular capsule, articular cartilage, muscles and bones due to the high soft tissue contrast of MRI.
