A Comparison of Indirect and Direct MR Arthrography of the Shoulder Using Arthroscopic Correlation
Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Shoulder Pain
In brief
This study will prospectively compare the findings of two diagnostic tests, Direct Magnetic Resonance Arthrography(MRA) and Indirect MRA, to the findings during shoulder arthroscopy in patients with shoulder pain. The sensitivity and specificity of both Direct and Indirect MRA's in diagnosing specific pathologies of the shoulder will be determined using shoulder arthroscopy as the gold standard.
