Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Quantitative Analysis of Rotator Cuff Muscle Volume

Abstract

Tears of the rotator cuff are accompanied by muscle atrophy, which has direct implications on patient outcome after rotator cuff surgery. However, no reliable method exists to determine muscle volumes in situ. The current authors evaluated the reliability of magnetic resonance imaging in assessing rotator cuff muscle volumes. Muscle volumes were determined in 10 shoulders from cadavers using two methods: (1). oblique sagittal shoulder scans were obtained, the contours of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor, and subscapularis muscles were traced, and muscle volumes were calculated using image analysis software; and (2). rotator cuff muscles were dissected and muscle volumes were measured by water displacement. The average magnetic resonance imaging volume of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor, and subscapularis muscles were 36 +/- 12, 96 +/- 41, and 99 +/- 33 mL, respectively. There was a significant correlation between magnetic resonance imaging and water displacement measurements. The intraobserver and interobserver variabilities were less than 4%. The results indicate the magnetic resonance imaging is a reliable method to determine rotator cuff muscle volumes with good intraobserver and interobserver variability. This method may prove valuable preoperative assessment of rotator cuff muscles and prediction of outcome after rotator cuff repair.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
