The Suprascapular Artery as a Reference for the Evaluation of Supraspinatus Fatty Infiltration on Magnetic Resonance Imaging
The suprascapular artery is a reliable reference for the evaluation of supraspinatus FI. When a positive tangent sign presents, supraspinatus FI is likely to be overestimated if the hyperintensity outside the region bounded by the branches of the suprascapular artery is mistaken as FI.
