Shear wave elastography (SWE) ultrasound of bilateral common extensor tendon (CET) on longitudinal scan in a 46-year-old male patient presenting with unilateral pain along the lateral aspect of the forearm and elbow. A SWE of the healthy CET showing mostly red regions, denoting the stiff nature of tendon structure. Quantitative SWE measurement shows the shear wave speed (SWS) to be 15.29 m/s. B SWE of involved CET showing mostly blue areas, denoting the soft nature of tendon structure. Quantitative SWE measurement shows the shear wave speed (SWS) to be 10.44 m/s
