Subscapularis tendon tear detection using axial internal rotation MRI: semiquantitative and quantitative analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the subscapularis tendon plays an important role in preoperative planning. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value and quantitative measurement of an additional internal rotation sequence in the detection of partial subscapularis tendon tears.

Methods

The study included 76 patients who underwent arthroscopy and magnetic resonance (MR) shoulder between January 2018 to December 2019. Three different sets of images were evaluated in each case to determine the diagnostic value in the detection of partial subscapularis tendon tears including Set 1: standard axial fat-suppressed proton density (PD/FS) image and sagittal fat-suppressed T2 weight image (T2W/FS) images, Set 2: standard axial PD/FS and internal rotat
