Examples from a 30 year old normal male control case, illustrating the evaluation of anterior joint capsule thickness on MRI. a On axial fat-sat PD image, the dashed line represents the measurement of anterior capsule thickness at the level of the middle glenohumeral ligament (thin arrows), with the spiral glenohumeral ligament (thick arrows) crossing the superficial layer of the anterior joint capsule. b and c are Oblique sagittal PD VISTA SPAIR sequences illustrating the measurement of the thickest aspect of the anterior shoulder joint capsule (dashed line). The middle glenohumeral ligament (thin arrows) is seen continuous with the spiral glenohumeral ligament (thick arrows) in the inferior aspect of the joint
