Can mri help to diagnose rotator cuff syndrome?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Mri is an excellent exam to evaluate the rotator cuff. In addition, other structures including the labrum, tendons, muscles, bones, and soft tissues are well seen.

Yes, along with exam: Mri is an excellent imaging choice to further define shoulder problems. Usually, MRI is most valuable after a medical consultation and physical examination by a shoulder specialist. That physician can then best correlate MRI findings with clinical findings and determine the best course of action.
