title: Magnetic resonance arthrography of the shoulder.
abstract: Recently, there have been attempts to improve the accuracy of MR imaging by distending the glenohumeral joint with fluid prior to imaging. This article reviews the techniques employed in performing MR arthrography, imaging characteristics of MR arthrography, and diagnostic use of the procedure.
