Applicability of 3T Shoulder MRI in Detection of Labral Pathology

Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Labral Tear, Glenoid

In brief

The purpose of this observational study is to compare image quality between 3 Tesla magnet (3T) non-contrast MRI to the current standard of MR arthrogram (1.5T magnet) in detecting shoulder labral and cartilage pathology. An orthopedic surgeon on the research team will screen for patients with high probability of labral and/or cartilaginous pathology and the need for advanced imaging. The orthopedic surgeon's inclusion of patients will be based on a thorough clinical exam and obtained history. Patients included in the study will be imaged using both protocols - the current standard of MR arthrogram with a 1.5T magnet and non-contrast imaging with a 3T magnet. Both sets of images will be interpreted by multiple fellowship-trained musculoskeletal radiologists for adequate intra and inter-rater reliability.
