1. Schematic diagrams of contrast arthrography in (A) a normal glenohumeral joint, where contrast medium is confined to the joint capsule and communicating structures (biceps tendon and subscapular bursa); (B) a partial rotator cuff tear, where contrast medium leaks into the tear site; (C) a complete rotator cuff tear, where contrast medium travels up through the tear and fills the subacromial–subdeltoid bursa; and (D) oblique coronal plane, MR arthrogram, demonstrating what is explained in (C).
