Abstract

The study aims to explore the possibilities of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in detecting lesions of anatomical structures of shoulder joint. We present the results of examinations of the patients with instability of the shoulder joint. These examinations were carried out by means of a MR tomography using a high-field MR-tomograph with magnetic field intensity of 1.5 Tl. The results of the MRI diagnosis were compared with intraoperative data of diagnostic arthroscopy. Definitive diagnosis allows us to define further patient management, to correct surgery planning, to decrease sick-lists duration and improve quality of patient’s life.
