MRI scan – a clear image for an accurate diagnosis

Shoulder MRI is a top-tier diagnostic method that enables an exceptionally detailed view of the anatomical structures of the shoulder joint – including the joint, muscle tissue, tendons, labrum, and surrounding soft tissues. This non-invasive examination uses a magnetic field and radio waves, without ionizing radiation, making it safe and suitable for follow-up examinations as well.

When is shoulder MRI recommended?

Shoulder MRI is an ideal test in cases of:

• degenerative joint disorders such as arthritis
• rotator cuff damage, impingement, and labral changes
• ruptures of ligaments, tendons, or muscles
• sports and work-related injuries
• pain, swelling, or internal bleeding in the shoulder
• infections, inflammatory conditions, and tumor changes

What does the examination look like?

The examination is performed while the patient lies still inside the MRI machine, which is completely painless and does not require recovery. The duration depends on the specifics of the indication and preparation, but it is usually done in a single visit without additional complications
