Figure 8

Mechanical and inflammatory Achilles tendon disease (arrows). Short echo time images of the Achilles tendon in mechanical tendinosis (a, c) and inflammatory tendinopathy (b, d). Axial sections show the posterior location of the tendinosis (a) and the anterior location of the inflammatory disease (b). Sagittal sections show tendinosis in the mid-portion of the tendon in mechanical disease (c). Inflammatory disease is typically more closely related to the enthesis (d).
