The document discusses MRI findings of the normal and pathological shoulder. It begins by showing coronal, sagittal, and axial views of the normal shoulder anatomy. It then describes common shoulder issues seen on MRI such as impingement, rotator cuff pathology including tendinosis, partial and full thickness tears, instability including Bankart lesions and Hill-Sachs deformities, SLAP tears, biceps pathology, fractures, and infection. For each condition, it highlights the MRI features including location and characteristics of lesions. In conclusion, it emphasizes the importance of MRI in evaluating shoulder problems but notes findings must be consistent with clinical examination.

35. • Shoulder is a complex joint with many normal
variants
• Proper clinical examination and probable clinical
diagnosis
• MRI very sensitive test for diagnosing shoulder
problems
• MRI findings should corroborate clinical findings
