A member asked:
What does increased intrasubstance in the supraspinatus tendon mean and is it reason for concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tendon signal: I assume you mean intrasubstance signal. The supraspinatus is one of the rotator cuff muscles. Depending on the degree of signal abnormality, it could mean intrasubstance tear, inflammation, or tendinosis.
