Rotator Cuff Injury: Diagnosis

 
Medical Encyclopedia: Rotator Cuff Injury: Diagnosis
 

Diagnosis is usually made after a physical examination, often by a sports medicine physician. X rays are also sometimes used in diagnosis as well as an arthrogram. However, the arthrogram is an invasive procedure and may be painful afterwards. For this reason, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is preferred to determine tendon tears as it also show greater detail than the arthrogram.
