Ultrasound and magnetic resonance findings and correlation in hemiplegic patients with shoulder pain.

Conclusion: Although US is recommended as the first method in determining shoulder pathologies in hemiplegic patients, we suggest that MRI should be used as the first choice in hemiplegic patients with shoulder pain. MRI and US findings were not consistent, and US is dependent on the experience of the operator. MRI should be the first choice in cases where the diagnosis will affect the treatment choice due to the lack of correlation between US and MRI findings. PMID: 24722039 [PubMed - in process]
