| Popis: | Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of skeletal muscles has been reported as capable to characterize physiological properties, tissue microstructure and architectural organization. However, the DTI indices may vary with the contractile state of the muscles, and in the rotator cuff muscles, a change in forearm position can result in variation of the DTI indices. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of forearm position on the major DTI indices of the rotator cuff muscles. The DTI of right rotator cuff was acquired under the neutral position and external and internal rotation of the forearm in nine healthy volunteers. Fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) of each muscle were calculated and compared among the three forearm positions. FA and MD were significantly different between external and internal rotation in infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis (p |
