How Frozen shoulder looks on MRI

In this week's video I show you how a frozen shoulder, a painful shoulder syndrome with reduced range of motion, can look on MRI and which findings are consistent with the clinical diagnosis of a frozen shoulder. Frozen shoulder is also known as adhesive caspulitis. Both terms were introduced way before MRI (frozen shoulder 1934 by Codman, adhesive capsulitis 1945 by Neviaser). It is important to realize that Frozen Shoulder is a clinical diagnosis and not an imaging diagnosis.
