Ultrasound Evaluation of the Rotator Cable and Associated Structures.

Ultrasound Evaluation of the Rotator Cable and Associated Structures.

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.

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with shoulder pain referred to radiology for ultrasound of shoulder

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients less than 18 years of age
