Examples of findings on magnetic resonance images for a 48-year-old woman with adhesive capsulitis. a. Oblique coronal fat-suppressed T2-weighted image showing measurement of the thickest portion of the axillary joint capsule in both humeral (arrow) and glenoid (dashed arrow) attachment and also showing axillary capsular thickening and abnormal hyperintensity (arrow heads). Increased thickness was present only at the glenoid portion (6.23 mm); thickness was normal at the humeral portion (2.81 mm). b Oblique sagittal T2-weighted image showing measurement of the coracohumeral ligament thickness (dashed arrow). c Axial fat-suppressed proton density image showing measurement of anterior capsular thickness (dashed arrow) below the subscapularis tendon. d Oblique coronal fat-suppressed T2-weighted image at the coracoid process level showing abnormal hyperintensity in the subcoracoid fat triangle (arrows). e Oblique sagittal T1-weighted image showing obliteration of the subcoracoid fat triangle (arrows)
