Q

where is the infraspinatus tendon located?

A

posteriorly to the shoulder

16
Q

what does the supraspinatus tendon do?

A

abducts the arm at the shoulder

17
Q

What may image a sheath that is thicker than the contained tendon?

A

acute disease

18
Q

What are the two “always” of tendon scanning?

A

ALWAYS image contralateral side for comparison

ALWAYS image in two planes

19
Q

What is the strongest and thickest tendon

A

Achilles

attaching the gastrocnemius and soleus muscle

normally 5-7mm thickness, 12-15 cm in diameter

20
Q

When you are imaging INJURY in the ligament, what is the only view you use?

A

only LONGITUDINAL

trv imaging = ligament blends with surrounding fat making it little help

21
Q

What does a contraction of a muscle increase when you image in real time?

A

thickness and hypoechogenicity

22
Q

What muscle is bipennate and echogenic obliquely oriented connective tissue between the muscle bundles?

A

gastrocnemius

a small central tendon serves as the anchor

23
Q

What has a hyperechoic appearance when compared with muscle, but are hypoechoic to tendons?

A

nerves
