Role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Ultrasonography in Evaluation of Chronic Non osseous Shoulder Pain.

Background: Chronic shoulder pain is a common clinical presentation. It is of osseous or non-osseous origin. In non-osseous shoulder pain, proper diagnosis is critical. Magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] is the standard diagnostic modality. However, it is expensive and not available in many medical ce...

Aim of the work: The current research aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of ultrasonography versus conventional MRI in different causes of chronic non-osseous shoulder pain.

The diagnostic value of ultrasound was estimated versus that of magnetic resonance imaging. Results: by ultrasound, tendinosis was reported in 55.0%, partial thickness tear in 27.5%, articular surface in 20.0%, full thickness tear in 12.5%, bursal surface [7.5%], neoplastic [2.5%] and infraspinatus tendon full thickness tear [2.5%]. Ultrasound able to diagnose supraspinatus tendinopathy [91.7%], full thickness complete tear [83.3%], supraspinatus impingement [85.3%], subacromial subdeltoid bursitis [92.0%] and long head biceps tenosynovitis [84.2%]. Otherwise, ultrasound specificity is over its sensitivity power for partial thinness tear on articular [80.0%] or bursal surfaces [85.3%], full thickness complete tear [94.1%], shoulder joint effusion [92.3%], LHB tenosynovitis [85.7%] and labral tears [100.0%].
