USG and MRI correlation of rotator cuff tears
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 10
Abstract
Purpose: To compare the accuracy of ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging in the detection of rotator cuff tears. Materials and Methods: Hundred patients with clinically suspected rotator cuff pathology underwent ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging of the shoulder. The findings in 94 patients were compared with arthroscopy or open surgery. Results: Full-thickness tear was confirmed in 42 cases, partial-thickness tear in 52 cases. The accuracy in the detection of full-thickness tears was 97 and 97.6% for ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging, respectively. The accuracy in the detection of bursal or articular partial-thickness tears was 88 and 92% for ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging, respectively. Conclusion: In experienced hands ultrasonography should be considered as an accurate modality for the initial investigation of rotator cuff followed by MRI in doubtful cases.
