A member asked:
Why did an mri not show a tear of suprasponatous tendon, but an mra showed a tear of 80%?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MRI vs MRA: It doesn't make sense. An MRA is tailored to evaluate blood vessels and would not visualize tendons as well as an MRI specifically performed to look at the shoulder/rotator cuff.
