title: Radiologic evaluation of tendon injuries.
abstract: This article reviews the imaging choices available to assess the tendons of the shoulder, knee, ankle, and wrist. Principles of tendon imaging and fundamental considerations of computer-derived image techniques are briefly discussed, with particular reference to magnetic resonance imaging. Although the criteria used to classify various tendon abnormalities are provided, the clinical role of imaging is emphasized.
