A 65-year-old female patient with clinically suspected adhesive capsulitis (shoulder pain and limitation of movement). a Oblique coronal fat-sat T2-weighted image demonstrating no sizable increased thickness of the axillary recess (thin yellow arrows). Also there is no gross axillary capsule altered signal intensity. b Oblique sagittal T2-weighted image illustrating a thickened coracohumeral ligament. c Oblique sagittal PD VISTA SPAIR image illustrating thickened and increased signal intensity of the anterior joint capsule (thin yellow arrows). d Axial fat suppressed PD image demonstrating increased thickness (6.95 mm) and increased signal intensity of the anterior shoulder joint capsule (thin yellow arrows). e Same Axial PD fat suppressed weighted image at the level of center of humeral head showing the angle of external rotation
