Figure 6a.

Massive supraspinatus tendon (SST) tear in a 73-year-old man. (a) Long-axis gray-scale US image of the expected SST region shows the deltoid muscle abutting the humeral head, related to a massive SST tear (arrows), with SST fibers not seen. (b) Color elastogram of the same region shows low shear-wave velocities (arrows) (mean, 3.15 m/sec) in the deltoid muscle. SWE data were collected using an Acuson S3000 US scanner with an L9–4-MHz linear transducer.
