N2 - Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate concordance of multiplanar 2-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (2D-MRI) versus 3D isotropic MRI for rotator cuff and labral tears with the reference standard of arthroscopic surgical findings. Methods: It was an institutional review board–approved retrospective single-center study of consecutive preoperative patients with isotropic 3D-MRI on 3-Tesla scanners, multiplanar 2D-MRI, and shoulder arthroscopy. Scapular plane-oriented contiguous multiplanar reconstructions of 3D-images were evaluated by 2 experienced fellowship-trained musculoskeletal radiologists. Variables included the following: labral tear presence and rotator-cuff tear Ellman grade, thickness, and width. Sensitivities (Sen) and specificities (Spe) were calculated for binary variables. Mean squared errors (MSE) were calculated for ordinal variables. Lower MSE indicated higher concordance. Results: Seventy-two patients (43 female) with a mean age of 50.75 ± 9.76 years were evaluated. For infraspinatus-tear presence, 3D-MRI showed higher sensitivity (0.96) and specificity (0.68) than 2D-MRI (Sen = 0.85, Spe = 0.32) (Psen = 0.005, Pspe = 0.002). For subscapularis-tear presence, 3D-MRI showed higher sensitivity (0.94) and specificity (0.73) compared with 2D-MRI (Sen = 0.83, Spe = 0.56) (Psen = 0.02, Pspe = 0.04). For supraspinatus-tear presence, there was no significant difference between 3D-MRI (Sen =0.96, Spe = 0.67) compared with 2D-MRI (Sen = 0.98, Spe = 0.83) (Psen = 0.43, Pspe = 0.63). For infraspinatus-tear thickness, 3D-MRI showed lower MSE (0.35) compared with 2D-MRI MSE (0.82) (P = 0.01). For subscapularis-tear thickness, 3D-MRI had lower MSE (0.31) compared with 2D-MRI MSE (0.51) (P = 0.007). However, no difference noted for supraspinatus-tear thickness when comparing 3D-MRI MSE (0.39) and 2D-MRI MSE (0.51) (P = 0.49). For labral-tear presence, 3D-MRI had a lower MSE (0.20) compared with 2D-MRI MSE (0.57) (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Three-dimensional MRI of the shoulder is time efficient with a shorter acquisition time and exhibits comparable with superior correlation to surgical findings than 2D-MRI for detection of labral tears and some rotator cuff tears. Three-dimensional MRI may be used in place of traditional 2D-MRI in detection of soft-tissue shoulder injury in centers equipped to do so.
