MR imaging (MRI) of the shoulder is the method of choice in clinical practice. In common use is MRI with field strength of 1.5T and 3T and the normal anatomic structures are readily identifiable in these field strength. But especially lesions or fiber structures are difficult to localize. With special coil elements 7T MRI offers the potential to increase the identification of capillary structures and this even with a higher spatial resolution in submilimeter compartment.
