Tendinosis vs partial tear: US image (a) of a patient showing bulky and heterogeneous supraspinatus tendon with mixed hypo- and hyperechoic areas. Corresponding MRI PDFS image (c) shows increase in signal intensity while T2WI image (b) shows normal signal intensity, suggestive of tendinosis of supraspinatus tendon. US image (d) from another patient reveals an anechoic area on the articular side of supraspinatus tendon (arrowheads) with raised signal intensity on both PDFS (not shown) and T2WI (e) MRI images suggestive of articular sided partial thickness tear
