“…Furthermore, Martin-Hervas et al [16] found US to be highly specific in in diagnosing full-thickness RCTs (100%), but not as sensitive (57.7%). Similarly, using 3.0-T MRI as the diagnostic standard, Yazigi et al [21] found a 100% specificity and 46.2% sensitivity of US for full-thickness tears of the supraspinatus. These studies suggest that US has high specificity for diagnosing full-thickness RCTs.…”

“…MRI is radiation free but the disadvantages of this examination are that it is expensive and does not offer real-time images [ 4 ]. Studies have shown that musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging has good sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing shoulder pathology [ 5 , 6 ]. Compared with MRI, musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging provides further advantages such as portability and cost-effectiveness and offers real-time images, which are helpful in observing small and occult lesions [ 4 ].…”
