Musculoskeletal MRI Quotes

“Deposits of gout crystals also may affect tendons (Fig. 3-14). It is usually impossible to distinguish gouty tophi or xanthomas from partial tendon tears by MRI, and they should simply be kept in mind in the appropriate setting.”
― Clyde A. Helms, Musculoskeletal MRI E-Book

“Tendons sometimes become partially torn in a longitudinal or vertical manner, rather than transversely (Fig. 3-9). A split tendon may be functionally incompetent and act as if it is completely torn, even though it is still in continuity with the muscle and the bone.”
