Evaluation of humeral head cartilage using magnetic resonance imaging T1 rho mapping for patients with small-to-medium rotator cuff tears: A pilot study

It is unclear whether smaller rotator cuff tears cause cartilage degeneration. This study was designed to detect early humeral head cartilage degeneration in patients with small-to-medium cuff tears using magnetic-resonance-imaging T1 rho mapping. Five male and 5 female volunteers without shoulder s...
