Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Rotator cuff tear (RCT) is a challenging and common musculoskeletal disease. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a commonly used diagnostic modality for RCT, but the interpretation of the results is tedious and has some reliability issues. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the accuracy and efficacy of the 3-dimensional (3D) MRI segmentation for RCT using a deep learning algorithm.
