Ultrasound Evaluation of the Rotator Cable and Associated Structures.

November 8, 2016 updated by: Yoav Morag, MD, University of Michigan
This study will use healthy volunteers and patients with shoulder problems (pain or impaired movement). Ultrasound will be used to image and document the appearance of both normal and abnormal shoulder structures.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to document normal and abnormal appearances of various shoulder structures (rotator cable and rotator cuff).

This study will recruit healthy volunteers and patients who have been referred to Radiology for a symptomatic shoulder (a shoulder that is causing the patient pain, or is limited in its ability to move.) Both groups will undergo ultrasound imaging of the shoulder.
