The coraco‐acromial ligament is important first for the stability of the shoulder joint and second because it can impinge on the rotator cuff. In this study we demonstrate how the coraco‐acromial ligament can be shown by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the axial plane as well as in the more conventional coronal and sagittal planes.
