Fig. 7

The tear is clearly visualized by Computed tomography bursography. On fat-suppressed T2-weighted Magnetic resonance imaging, there appears to be increased signal in the infraspinatus, suggesting a bursal-side tear. a Axial image shows longitudinal pooling of contrast medium in the infraspinatus (arrowhead) on Computed tomography bursography. The Magnetic resonance imaging shows areas of an increased signal in the infraspinatus (arrows). On Computed tomography bursography (b, c), the oblique sagittal image reveals that the tear communicates with the subacromial bursa in the infraspinatus tendon (arrowhead). The Magnetic resonance imaging shows areas of increased signal in the infraspinatus tendon, which is in contact with the bursal side of the rotator cuff (arrows). d Computed tomography bursography shows pooling of contrast medium within the muscle (arrowhead).
