BACKGROUD: It has been reported that vitamin D may play an important role in rotator cuff tears. However, there has been limited information about the prevalence of and risk factors for hypovitaminosis D in patients with rotator cuff tears. Therefore...
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: The use of MRI as a diagnostic tool has gained popularity in the field of orthopedics. Although 3-dimensional (3D) MRI offers more intuitive visualization and can better facilitate treatment planning than 2-dimensional (2D) MRI, m...

Rotator cuff tears (RCTs) are one of the most common shoulder injuries, which are typically diagnosed using relatively expensive and time-consuming diagnostic imaging tests such as magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography. Deep learning algo...
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 issu...
BACKGROUND: Detection of rotator cuff tears, a common cause of shoulder disability, can be time-consuming and subject to reader variability. Deep learning (DL) has the potential to increase radiologist accuracy and consistency.

BACKGROUND: Accurately diagnosing supraspinatus tears based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is challenging and time-combusting due to the experience level variability of the musculoskeletal radiologists and orthopedic surgeons. We developed a dee...
BACKGROUND: It is challenging to predict retear after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). The usefulness of arthroscopic intraoperative images as predictors of the ARCR prognosis has not been analyzed.
