An MRI Arthrogram of the Shoulder is a specialized imaging test used to evaluate the shoulder joint in greater detail. Unlike a standard MRI, an arthrogram involves injecting a contrast dye (gadolinium) directly into the shoulder joint before the MRI scan. This contrast helps highlight soft tissues, cartilage, ligaments, and joint structures, making it easier to detect injuries or abnormalities.

Why is it Done?
An MRI arthrogram of the shoulder is commonly performed to diagnose:
• Rotator cuff tears (including small or partial tears)
• Labral tears (e.g., SLAP tears, Bankart lesions)
• Cartilage damage (chondral injuries)
• Shoulder instability or dislocations
• Biceps tendon injuries
• Post-surgical complications
