Imaging Findings: MR and US examinations (Figs. 1–4) revealed no signs of rotator cuff tendons or biceps tendon injuries. On MR sequences and on US images we can observe a massive distention of the subacromial bursa, filled with synovial effusion and with multiple loose bodies; such nodules present various signal intensity characteristics at MR examination and result movable at US evaluation. T...
