We are doing this study to get a better understanding of how exercise affects the motion and mechanics of the shoulder joint in people who have shoulder instability and are planning to have shoulder surgery. We hope the information we gain from this study can improve treatment methods for injuries like shoulder dislocations or rotator cuff tears.

We are doing this study to collect data and samples to store them for future research.

We hope this data and samples will lead to improved treatment of patients who are seriously ill or have been injured.

If you choose to join this study, you will:
- Be randomized (like the flip of a coin) to screening with Tomosynthesis Mammography (TM) or Digital Mammography (DM)

The frequency and number of screening mammograms will vary with your menopausal status and whether you have breast cancer risk factors.
-- All premenopausal women will have annual screening

-- Postmenopausal women will have screening every 2 years unless they have any specific risk factors

- Have either three-dimensional (3D) Tomosynthesis Mammography or two-dimensional (2D) Digital Mammography

-- Get screened every year for four more years - for a total of five mammograms, or
-- Every other year - for a total of three mammograms

- Be followed for 4.5 to 8 years

We are doing this study to learn how to get the best quality images of lungs in an MRI scanner as people breathe in Xenon gas. We hope this imaging will show key differences between diseased and healthy lungs.
