Skeletal Radiology 2020 March 26

The biceps brachii myotendinous unit, particularly the long head of the biceps tendon and its labral attachment, is a common cause of shoulder and arm pain. Its complex anatomy and normal variations can present a challenge when interpreting MR images.

Recent data regarding the accuracy of clinical examination and MRI will be summarized.
