Rotator cuff tear grading (MRI)

One method of grading rotator cuff tears on MRI is as follows:

  • grade 0: normal
  • grade I: increased T2 signal with normal morphology
  • grade II: increased T2 signal with abnormal morphology (thickening, or irregularity of the tendon)
  • grade III: defined tear (e.g. partial or full-thickness, complete or incomplete)
