Why the study?
Does a two-image MRI method (Method 2) improve the accuracy of rotator cuff muscle volume assessment compared to a single-image method (Method 1) in cadaver shoulders?

Two-image MRI may refine cadaveric rotator cuff volumetry; leaves open translation to human clinical use.
Does a two-image MRI method (Method 2) improve the accuracy of rotator cuff muscle volume assessment compared to a single-image method (Method 1) in cadaver shoulders?
A two-image MRI technique provides a more accurate and clinically practical assessment of rotator cuff muscle volumes than a single-image method.
