Tendonosis

Normal tendon: uniform low signal on pd and t2 weighted images

Focal tendonosis: increased signal on pd images or increased signal on t2 weighted images (not fluid signal) extending not more than 10 mm in any dimension

Generalized tendonosis: increased signal on pd or t2 weighted images (but not fluid signal) extending more than 10 mm in any dimension
