"There is an ongoing debate on whether direct MR arthrography is superior to conventional MR in detecting labral tears. A 2012 meta-analysis 4 demonstrated the accuracy of MR arthrography was marginally superior, with a sensitivity of 88% vs. 76% for conventional MR, and a specificity of 93% vs. 87%."

"On conventional MR labral tears are best seen on fat-saturated fluid-sensitive sequences. On MR arthrography it is customary to combine T1, T1 FS and T2 FS sequences for further assessment. Imaging in three planes is advisable and additional orthogonal planes may be included in the protocol for a detailed assessment of the lesion."

"MR arthrography has excellent accuracy in differentiating between SLAP lesions and anatomic variants."
"CT arthrography has been reported to have 97.3% accuracy for detecting Bankart lesions and 86.3% for SLAP lesions 4, which makes it comparable with MR arthrography and gives the possibility to examine the patients with contraindications to an MR examination. Apart from that, CT is superior to MR in assessing bony structures, so this modality is helpful in detecting co-existing small glenoid rim fractures."
"There are a number of anatomical labral variants located between 11 and 3 o'clock, which can be mistaken for a SLAP tear:"
