About this trial
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of dynamic high-resolution ultrasonography in identifying various abnormalities of the shoulder impingement syndrome, especially the subacromial type, and to determine the added value of dynamic ultrasonography compared to static examination of such cases. Furthermore, we will compare these findings to MRI, which we regard as the standard in our cases.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
male and female patients present with shoulder pain with positive clinical tests suggestive of shoulder impingement syndrome

Patients having contraindications to perform MRI (Patients with electrically, magnetically, or mechanically activated implants, pacemakers, cochlear implants, or any metallic orthopedic implants) and claustrophobic patients).
