Shoulder Labral Tear & SLAP Lesion: AI-Powered MRI Analysis

AI-powered shoulder labral tear detection on MRI. Classify SLAP lesions, Bankart tears, and posterior labral injuries by type and extent. Multi-model AI analysis of glenoid labrum from multiple planes.

Overview

The glenoid labrum is a fibrocartilaginous ring that deepens the shoulder socket and serves as an attachment point for the glenohumeral ligaments and long head of the biceps tendon. Labral tears are classified by location and pattern: SLAP (Superior Labrum Anterior to Posterior) tears involve the superior labrum at the biceps anchor, while Bankart lesions involve the anteroinferior labrum and are associated with shoulder dislocations. Our AI consortium evaluates labral morphology, identifies tear patterns, and assesses for associated osseous injuries.

Common Symptoms

Deep shoulder pain, often hard to localize
Catching, locking, or popping with shoulder movement
Pain with overhead activities or throwing motions
Sensation of shoulder instability or slipping
Pain worsening with specific arm positions
Decreased throwing velocity or accuracy in athletes

Key Imaging Findings

Labral detachment or irregularity on axial or coronal MRI
SLAP tear with extension into the biceps anchor
Bankart lesion with anteroinferior labral avulsion
Bony Bankart with glenoid rim fracture
Hill-Sachs lesion on the posterolateral humeral head
Paralabral cyst suggesting underlying labral tear

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a SLAP tear?

SLAP stands for Superior Labrum Anterior to Posterior. It is a tear of the top part of the labrum where the biceps tendon attaches. SLAP tears are classified into Types I-IV. Our AI evaluates the biceps anchor and superior labrum to identify and classify SLAP lesions.
