| Popis: | Objectives (1) Assess the association between the B-mode morphologic appearance and elasticity in the rotator cuff tendon using shear wave elastography (SWE). (2) Assess the association between SWE and symptoms. Methods Institutional Review Board approval and informed consent were obtained. A retrospective review identified 21 studies in 19 eligible patients for whom SWE was performed during routine sonographic evaluations for shoulder pain. Evaluations were compared with 55 studies from 16 asymptomatic volunteers and 6 patients with asymptomatic contralateral shoulders. Repeated studies were accounted for by resampling. Proximal and distal tendon morphologic characteristics were graded from 1 to 4 (normal to full-thickness tear), and average shear wave velocity (SWV) measurements were obtained at both locations. In 68 examinations, deltoid muscle SWV measurements were available for post hoc analysis. Results The morphologic grade and SWV showed weak-to-moderate negative correlations in the proximal (P |
