Fig. 6From: Sono-elastography findings of supraspinatus tendon in supraspinatus tendinopathy and tear: comparison study with magnetic resonance imaginga MRI coronal oblique STIR images of supraspinatus tendon showing intrasubstance increased signal with fluid signal seen disrupting the articular surface fibers (small articular surface tear grade III). b B-mode ultrasound of supraspinatus tendon showing hypoechoic area within the tendon reaching its articular surface. c SWE images showing focal area of tendon softening (blue color reaching its articular surface). SWV equals 2.9 m/s (dashed circle)Back to article page
