Assessment of an In Vitro Model of Rotator Cuff Degeneration Using Quantitative Magnetic Resonance and Ultrasound Imaging with Biochemical and Histological Correlation

ConclusionsMMF, adiabatic T1ρ, and T2* measured and US BSC can detect alterations in collagen. Of the quantitative MR and US imaging measures evaluated, MMF showed the highest correlation with collagen loss and can be used to assess rotator cuff degeneration.
