摘要

Nonspecific shoulder pain is common presentation among elderly patients and patients with a history of cancer. The major concern of shoulder pain in cancer patients is the development of metastases. MRI of the shoulder is the most commonly used imaging modality for assessment of suspected soft tissue pathologies associated with the shoulder pain. In this study, we try to examine the role of shoulder MRI in elderly patients with a history of cancer presenting with nonspecific shoulder complaints for assessment of metastases.
