title: [Possibilities of magnetic resonance tomography in diagnostic imaging of the shoulder joint].
abstract: By virtue of its multiplanar representation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows clear visualization of the complex anatomical relationships of the shoulder joint. In addition to axial planes, slices perpendicular and parallel to the glenoid cavity are used to good advantage. In tears of the rotator cuff an increase in signal intensity within the cuff is recognized in T2- and proton-density-weighted images. Lesions of the glenoid labrum following luxations of the glenohumeral joint can be detected and classified using MRI. The diagnostic value of MRI as compared with other imaging modalities will have to be evaluated in larger series with operative verification.
