Evaluation of supraspinatus muscle-to-fat infiltration for rotator cuff tear patients using dual-energy computed tomography
We investigated the evaluation of fatty infiltration in Ssp using dual-energy CT in patients with rotator cuff tears. Positive correlations were seen between the Goutallier classification from MRI and rotator cuff intramuscular fat ratio from dual-energy CT. Moreover, changes in attenuation showed that higher Goutallier stages contained more fat. Our data suggest the potential utility of dual-energy CT for evaluating fatty infiltration of rotator cuff muscles.
