A novel measurement to evaluate supraspinatus tendinopathies with strain elastography.

Background: In addition to the traditional strain ratio (STR), a novel measurement termed hard percent of the whole tendon, provided by the device's software and resembling shear-wave elastography, was included in the study.

Purpose: To evaluate the correlation between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and strain elastography findings in cases with rotator cuff tendinopathy, including tears.

Material And Methods: As a prospective study, cases suggestive of rotator cuff tendinopathy were included.
