Interdisciplinary inter-observer agreement and accuracy of MR imaging of the shoulder with arthroscopic correlation

摘要

Introduction Differences between radiologists and orthopaedic surgeons in the interpretation of MR images of the shoulder joint are experienced in daily clinical practice. This study set out to evaluate the inter-observer agreement between radiologists and orthopaedic surgeons in assessing pathology on MR imaging of the shoulder joint. Also, we determined the accuracy of the observers with arthroscopy as the standard of reference.
