Abstract
Background: Rotator cuff (RC) disease is among the most common shoulder disorders globally, accounting for approximately 70% of shoulder-related pain and dysfunction in adults. As the third most prevalent musculoskeletal condition, accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment. Subjects and Methods: Recent advances in high-resolution imaging technologies, particularly ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have significantly enhanced the diagnosis of RC pathologies. This review examines the utility and diagnostic performance of these imaging modalities in evaluating shoulder joint disorders. Results: High-resolution ultrasound has emerged as a sensitive, non-invasive, cost-effective, and non-ionizing diagnostic tool. MRI, while more resource-intensive, offers detailed visualization of both rotator cuff and non-rotator cuff abnormalities. Both modalities have contributed to improved diagnostic accuracy and understanding of shoulder pathologies. Conclusion: The use of high-resolution imaging, particularly ultrasound and MRI, is crucial in accurately diagnosing shoulder joint issues. These techniques support clinicians in developing effective treatment strategies, thereby improving patient outcomes in those with shoulder discomfort and dysfunction.
