In preoperative assessment of rotator cuff tear, it is
very important to evaluate the degree of fatty
degeneration of the rotator cuff muscles for deciding
the indication of operation, and predicting the clinical
functional outcome. However, in clinical practice
qualitative method is widely used for evaluation of
fatty degeneration. The objective of this study is to
prospectively quantify fatty degeneration of the
supraspinatus muscle by using 2-point Dixon technique at
3.0-T MRI, and to evaluate the correlation with severity
of rotator cuff tears.
