Quantitative Sodium MRI of the Human Patellar Tendon. [PDF]
Sodium MRI and 1H T2* measurements of the patellar tendon were conducted in 20 healthy volunteers and seven tendinopathy patients at a clinical field strength. Significant differences between the two groups were observed with both parameters. This demonstrates the feasibility of using sodium MRI in the patellar tendon and the potential for early ...

TENDINOPATHY AND OBESITY [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction: Tendinopathies and tendon tears account for over 30% of all musculoskeletal consultations. Obesity, which is becoming one of the world´s most prevalent public health issues, may be associated with this condition. Objective: To review the literature about tendinopathies and obesity association. Methods: This is a descriptive
