Radiologists typically read shoulder magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, scans, according to WebMD. MRI technologists perform the test but do not interpret the results. After the technologist completes the shoulder MRI, the radiologist may provide patients with some preliminary results.
The primary care doctor receives a full report within one to two days, according to WebMD. Abnormal findings include unusual growths, joint damage, tears in the ligaments or infection. MRI scans can sometimes find the shoulder problem even if the area looks normal.
A doctor may order a shoulder MRI for patients with pain, shoulder joint swelling, fluid build-up or decreased movement of the shoulder, as noted by MedlinePlus.
