Problem Shoulder Part 14: Diagnostic Ultrasound Imaging for Shoulder Problems

Lisa is a Musculo-skeletal specialist in ultrasound imaging. Throughout this presentation she will be discussing the ultrasound imaging of the rotator cuff, the normal appearances of the rotator cuff as well as the changes demonstrated in the tendon. Tendon tears, partial or full thickness will be shown and described.

The use and importance of dynamic scanning will also be explained and what “impingement” represents. Shoulder testing in strength and ROM  will be examined in making the correct diagnosis in cuff pathology.
