    Background Shoulder pain is one of the common reason for the hospital visit, it is a nonspecific symptom with multiple underlying causes, in young mostly it is due to trauma a and in old age the result of agerelated degeneration and tear involving the joint and supporting structures, radiology plays an important role in uncovering the underlying conditions the 1 st imaging modality used in our set up is a plain film which has poor sensitivity and specificity subsequent choice of imaging depends on Clinical diagnosis like MRI, MRA and US MRI has better sensitivity and specificity than ultrasound for most of the pathologies causing shoulder pain, and up to my knowledge no available data is found stating the different pathologic pattern of MRI finding in a patient with shoulder pain Objective Objective of the study is to establish the pattern of MRI finding of shoulder pathologies seen in patients with shoulder complaint. Materials and methods Retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on a total of 166 patients using conventional 1.5 T MRI in two teaching hospitals Results The most commonly imaged shoulder was the Right shoulder with 104(62.7%) of the cases .Rotator cuff tear was the most common lesion seen in 72(43.6%) of the cases of which partial thickness tear which was seen in 60 (82.2%) of the cases followed by Rotator cuff tendinosis which is encountered in 45 (27.1%) of the cases Conclusion: This study concludes that right shoulder is more affected than the left, partial thickness supraspinatus tear was the commonest lesion identified
