Diagnostic Accuracy of USG and MRI for the Detection of Rotator Cuff Injury
Our findings indicate that USG may not be as reliable in detecting rotator cuff tears as once believed. A positive ultrasound result is more trustworthy than a negative one. In contrast, MRI demonstrates greater sensitivity and overall diagnostic accuracy compared to both ultrasonography and clinical assessment for detecting rotator cuff tears.
