Foundations Of Shoulder MRI Imaging

This module introduces the essential principles of shoulder MRI and explains how technologists evaluate rotator cuff tendons labrum cartilage and bone marrow. It describes how T1 T2 proton density and fat suppressed sequences support diagnosis. The content highlights the importance of coil selection patient positioning and motion reduction. It also explains how technologists tailor protocols based on clinical indications including pain instability and trauma. The module emphasizes the importance of communication with radiologists. By understanding shoulder MRI protocols technologists can support high quality diagnostic imaging.
