Shoulder
The shoulder joint is one of the most complex and flexible joints in the human body, enabling a wide range of motion. Injuries or conditions affecting the shoulder, such as rotator cuff tears or arthritis, can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life. At RadCare Radiology, we utilize advanced imaging technologies to accurately diagnose shoulder-related issues and support effective treatment plans.

Shoulder MRI: Advanced Diagnostic Imaging
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the shoulder is an advanced diagnostic test that provides detailed images of the shoulder joint and surrounding tissues. This cutting-edge technique enables physicians to accurately diagnose various conditions, paving the way for effective treatment plans.
Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
Rotator Cuff Tendinitis:
- Inflammation of the tendons connecting muscles to the shoulder bone, often caused by overuse or repetitive arm movements.
Bursitis:
- Inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac that reduces friction between bones and surrounding tissues.
Frozen Shoulder:
- A condition characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint, leading to limited movement.
Osteoarthritis:
- Degeneration of cartilage in the shoulder joint, resulting in pain and stiffness.
Uses of Shoulder MRI
Diagnosing Rotator Cuff Tears:
- Precisely determining the size and location of tears.
Evaluating Bursitis and Tendinitis:
- Assessing the extent of inflammation and its impact on mobility.
Impingement Syndrome:
- Identifying compression of tendons or muscles within the shoulder.
Post-Surgical Assessment:
- Monitoring the success of previous surgeries or identifying complications.
When is an MRI Recommended?
- When pain persists despite other imaging tests, such as X-rays or ultrasound, failing to provide a clear diagnosis.
- In some cases, MRI may be the first-line diagnostic tool for a comprehensive evaluation of shoulder conditions.
