Abstract

This chapter focuses on articular pathologies of the shoulder, in particular, impingement and rotator cuff pathology, glenohumeral instability, and biceps tendon and rotator interval lesions. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MR arthrography (MRA) appearances of these conditions are described.
