What is a Shoulder MRI?

An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan generates images of the body by manipulating magnetic fields and radio waves. An MRI scan can be performed all over the body, including but not limited to the abdomen, the thoracic spine, and the hip. A shoulder MRI captures images of the shoulder’s internal structures, including its two main articulations; the glenohumeral joint and the acromioclavicular joint
What is the Purpose of a Shoulder MRI?

There are a number of reasons why your doctor might request an MRI scan of the shoulder, as it can help detect and diagnose:


  • Bone fractures

  • Rotator cuff issues

  • Decreased range of motion

  • Sports and work-related injuries

  • Unexplained pain

  • Arthritis and other degenerative bone disorders



It can also be used to monitor your shoulder after a surgery or during a treatment.
