From: Clinical and radiological assessment of hemiplegic shoulder pain in stroke patients
Shows MRI and US images of different patients with rotator cuff disorders. A Coronal oblique fat-suppressed proton image of the left shoulder shows left supraspinatus partial thickness tendon tear (black arrow), sub-acromion/sub-deltoid bursal fluid (white arrows), A-C joint capsular hypertrophy (thick white arrow) and gleno-humeral joint effusion (asterisks). B Coronal oblique fat-suppressed proton image of the left shoulder of the same patient in A shows fluid filled intramuscular gap (asterisks) is seen in the teres minor muscle (white arrows) diagnostic of intramuscular teres minor tear. C Axial fat suppressed proton image of left shoulder in another patient than A and B shows partial thickness subscapularis tendon tear (black arrow) and gleno-humeral joint effusion (asterisks). D US image of another patient than A and C shows hypo-echoic full-thickness defect within the left supraspinatus tendon (black arrow) diagnostic of supraspinatus full thickness tear
