MRI EXAMINATION OF THE LEFT SHOULDER WITHOUT CONTRAST
INDICATION FOR
STUDY: Pain. Patient has had previous x-ray evaluations.
FINDINGS: Axial, sagittal, and coronal
oblique images of the left shoulder without contrast were performed on the Open
MRI at XXXXXXX. The patient was to
return to complete a contrast portion of the examination also of right
shoulder, but has not had returned. The
examination therefore has delay in dictation, but is now being dictated. There are significant degenerative changes at
the acromioclavicular joint. There is
high riding shoulder. There is
impingement syndrome. The supraspinatus
tendon and muscle appear intact, but there is significant edema near the
insertion and changes consistent with a partial tear near the insertion. The glenoid labrum and biceps tendon appear
intact. There is no significant joint
effusion. If there is any further
concern, would recommend further evaluation as necessary.
