Summary
This study will prospectively compare the findings of two diagnostic tests, Direct Magnetic
Resonance Arthrography(MRA) and Indirect MRA, to the findings during shoulder arthroscopy in
patients with shoulder pain. The sensitivity and specificity of both Direct and Indirect
MRA's in diagnosing specific pathologies of the shoulder will be determined using shoulder
arthroscopy as the gold standard.
