PURPOSE: The purpose of this work was to establish the optimal means of evaluation of the rotator cuff interval (RCI) and rotator interval capsule and demonstrate normal anatomy of the RCI using MR imaging and MR arthrography. METHOD: MR arthrography was performed in 32 cadaveric shoulders. In 20 cases, MR imaging was completed prior to arthrography. Pre- and postarthrography studies included standard imaging planes. Images were evaluated by the consensus of two musculoskeletal radiologists with attention to the RCI, rotator interval capsule (measurements on postarthrographic studies), and crossing structures. In five cases, specialized imaging planes were performed after arthrography. RESULTS: The RCI, rotator interval capsule, and crossing structures were best evaluated by MR arthrography. The anteroposterior dimension of the rotator interval capsule could be best depicted on postarthrogram images. CONCLUSION: MR arthrography, with both standard and specialized imaging planes, is a useful way to evaluate the RCI, the rotator interval capsule, and its crossing structures. |
