RE: Musculoskeletal Applications of Elastography: a Pictorial Essay of Our Initial Experience

Dear Editors: We fully agree that sonoelastography is a very useful in musculoskeletal imaging modality, especially for evaluating tendon tears, early softening, and degenerative changes in the tendons (1, 2). However, it is not easy to perform on all tendons. Scanning an Achilles tendon (3), being superficial, is very easy to scan and similarly, sonoelastography is also very easy given that it is easy to compress the superficial structure. However, the orientation of supraspinatus is complex as it lies deep at bone level and at the deltoid to some extent, and also has an oblique course. Hence, when
