The diagnostic value of clinical rotator cuff (RC) tests is controversial, with only sparse evidence about their anatomical specificity. In this study, published in #EuropeanRadiologyExperimental, we assessed regional RC muscle activation patterns by means of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after the execution of common clinical RC tests.
Muscle-group specificity was found to vary across the tests.
