Adhesive Capsulitis (AC) is a self-limiting disease of the shoulder joint characterized by progressive painful restriction of theshoulder’s motion. This study aimed to search the findings on AC in non-contrast MRI. Although AC is a clinical diagnosis,imaging can provide helpful data for earlier diagnosis and treatment. It seems that some findings are specific and sensitive foraccurate diagnosis and staging of AC such as coracohumeral ligament thickening, joint capsule edema, and rotator intervalinfiltration. Non-contrast MRI can provide an abundance of information on AC and help clinicians make a more definitivediagnosis, stage the disease, and choose better treatment plans.
