Fig. 3From: Supraspinatus rupture at the musculotendinous junction in a young woman Magnetic resonance imaging performed 29 months after trauma. a T1 short-tau inversion-recovery coronal image shows complete disappearance of edema, even though the muscle is hypotrophic. b Proton-density fat-saturated sagittal and c axial view confirms the reduction of muscle volume and shows a small intramuscular scar in the posterior side of the musculotendinous junction. The intramuscular septum is solid and stretched (arrow). d Grade 1 fatty degeneration clearly visible on T1 sagittal view (arrow)Back to article page
