title: [Nuclear magnetic resonance tomography and sonography in diagnosis of lesions of the rotator cuff].
abstract: The diagnostic value of MRI and ultrasound in the examination of 37 patients with chronic shoulder pain is compared. All the results were controlled or by arthroscopy/arthrotomy or by arthrography. Ruptures and degenerative changes of the rotator cuff and degenerative lesions could be detected with a high sensibility. The ultrasound examination as a fast, reproducible diagnostic method has now become part of the routine diagnosis. The MRI produces exacter information about the extent of the lesions; but it will be reserved for special questions.
