Abstract :

We all know how important the shoulder joint is and that any defect in this important part  impedesus from exercising our normallife, especially the pain  associated with most of shoulder disorders.The aim of this study was to highlight the role of MRI in the evaluation of shoulder joint pain. The total number of patients was sixty one (61), the number of  females and males was 29 and 33 respectively. Data were taken from t records(PACS)in  King Abdulaziz University hospital at Diagnostic radiology department in the period between (June–December 2015). All patients suffered shoulder joint pain and underwent MRI. This included 29 females and 32 males age ranged (2–77) years and mean age of 2.29 years. supraspinatus tear was the most common pathologic findings(36.1%).followed by supraspinatus tendonitis (23.0%), bursitis (18.0 %), Hill–Sachs lesion 6.6 % and  laal tear (4.9%). Adhesive capsulitis, calcific tendonitis, hook deformity acromion, intact rotator cuff, capitohumeral osteomyelitis and recurrent dislocation were the least common pathological findings 1.6%. shoulder pain was more frequent among patients in the age group of above 50 years 50%  followed by the age group of (30–50) years 29% , while the age group of <30 years was the least (21.0 %). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most suitable method for the diagnosis of shoulde pain. It is highly capable of imaging the soft tissues, muscles and ligaments that characterize the shoulder joint and other joints,  this is in agreement with several previous studies in this field
