Fig. 2A —72-year-old man with right shoulder pain. Coronal oblique modified inversion recovery MR images of shoulder show abnormal signal intensity within supraspinatus tendon (arrow, A), primarily within articular surface of tendon. Although this abnormal signal is not as intense as fluid, there is clear disruption of fibers of supraspinatus tendon. On more anterior image (B), there appears to be disruption of bursal surface of tendon (arrow, B). All three reviewers interpreted these findings as a full-thickness tear of supraspinatus tendon.
