It was sought to evaluate the efficacy of T2\u00a0mapping in detecting differences in the supraspinatus tendon (SST) among patients with tendinosis, partial tears and minimally retracted full\u2010thickness tears, relative to asymptomatic volunteers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The pathologic cohort consisted of two arthroscopically verified groups: tendinosis and a tear group of partial tears or minimally retracted full\u2010thickness tears, and was compared to an asymptomatic cohort with no prior history of shoulder pathology. The SST was manually segmented from the footprint to the medial humeral head in the coronal and sagittal planes and divided into six clinically relevant subregions. Mean T2 values and inter\u2010 and intra\u2010rater reliability were assessed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In the anterolateral subregion, the tear group exhibited significantly higher mean T2 values (43.9 \u00b1 12.7\u00a0ms) than the tendinosis (34.9 \u00b1 3.9\u00a0ms; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.006) and asymptomatic (33.6 \u00b1 5.3\u00a0ms; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.015) groups. In the posterolateral subregion, the tear group had higher mean T2 values (45.2 \u00b1 13.7) than the asymptomatic group (34.7 \u00b1 6.7; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.012). Inter\u2010 and intra\u2010rater reliability was mostly excellent (ICC &gt; 0.75).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>T2\u00a0mapping is an accurate non\u2010invasive method to identify quantitatively early rotator cuff pathology. The lateral region in the coronal plane in particular may differentiate partial and small minimally retracted full\u2010thickness tears from tendinosis and asymptomatic tendons. Understanding and being able to measure quantitatively the process of tendon degeneration and subsequent tearing may help clinicians to better predict at\u2010risk groups and to stratify treatment options.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Level of evidence<\/jats:title><jats:p>III.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-015-3547-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,4]],"date-time":"2015-03-04T09:51:29Z","timestamp":1425462689000},"page":"2216-2224","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Quantitative MRI characterization of arthroscopically verified supraspinatus pathology: comparison of tendon tears, tendinosis and asymptomatic supraspinatus tendons with T2\u00a0mapping"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Edmund","family":"Ganal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Steadman Clinic 181 W Meadow Dr, Suite 400 81657 Vail CO USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charles P.","family":"Ho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Steadman Philippon Research Institute 181 W Meadow Dr 81657 Vail CO USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katharine J.","family":"Wilson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Steadman Philippon Research Institute 181 W Meadow Dr 81657 Vail CO USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rachel K.","family":"Surowiec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Steadman Philippon Research Institute 181 W Meadow Dr 81657 Vail CO USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"W.
