Both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and sonography are well suited to tendon imaging. A normal tendon on MRI demonstrates low signal intensity and on sonography, an echogenic fibrillar pattern. MRI is considered the imaging gold standard, providing an anatomic overview and excellent soft tissue contrast.

Elastin is Localised to the Interfascicular Matrix of Energy Storing Tendons and Becomes Increasingly Disorganised With Ageing [PDF]
Tendon is composed of fascicles bound together by the interfascicular matrix (IFM). Energy storing tendons are more elastic and extensible than positional tendons; behaviour provided by specialisation of the IFM to enable repeated interfascicular sliding

Equine digital tendons show breed‐specific differences in their mechanical properties that may relate to athletic ability and predisposition to injury [PDF]
Background Throughout the ages, human subjects have selected horse breeds for their locomotor capacities. Concurrently, tissue properties may have diversified because of specific requirements of different disciplines. Objectives The aim of this study was

Versican splice variant messenger RNA expression in normal human Achilles tendon and tendinopathies [PDF]
Versican is the principal large proteoglycan expressed in mid-tendon, but its role in tendon pathology is unknown. Our objective was to define the expression of versican isoform splice variant messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) in normal Achilles tendons,

Bitendinous Palmaris Longus Muscle: A Case Report [PDF]
Palmaris Longus Muscle (PLM) is one of the common flexor muscles of the forearm. Classified as a phylogenetically retrogressive muscle, it often exhibits anatomic variations such as agenesis and variation in location, morphology and attachment.
