Role of Dynamic High-Resolution Ultrasound in Comparison with MRI in Assessment of Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
Main Article Content
Abstract
Subacromial impingement is a prevalent cause of shoulder pain, responsible for up to sixty percent of all shoulder-related symptoms. Impingement syndrome may arise from several circumstances categorized into structural and functional causes. Shoulder joint injuries are prevalent. The distinctive anatomy of the shoulder joint renders it more susceptible to dislocation. Various etiologies of shoulder discomfort are observed, with shoulder impingement being the predominant condition influenced by multiple variables. One is functional, whereas the acromion, acromioclavicular (AC) joint, rotator cuff, bursa, coracoid process, and humerus are structural. MRI is useful for examining shoulder pain; however, it only provides a static image of the shoulder joint. A number of disorders affecting musculoskeletal structures, such as painful shoulder syndrome, can be effectively evaluated using dynamic ultrasonography. Rotator cuff tendon diseases represent the predominant category of ailments impacting the shoulder joints. Diagnostic radiological techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasonography (US), as well as magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA), furnish valuable insights that assist doctors in formulating appropriate treatment strategies for individual patients.
