title: Magnetic resonance imaging of arthritides affecting the shoulder.
abstract: MR imaging has thus far had a limited role in the evaluation of arthritis involving the shoulder. In certain cases, such as in amyloid and synovial osteo chondromatosis, however, MR imaging may be virtually diagnostic. It is likely that MR imaging will have an expanded role in the evaluation of arthritis in the future.
