Figure 2: Measurement of thickness and enhancement of axillary recess. Arrow heads indicate hypertrophied and enhanced axillary recess, arrow indicates partial tear of supraspinatus tendon. Note the enhancement of the joint capsule and synovial membrane in the axillary recess (score 4), measured perpendicular to adjacent cortex in right FS shoulder (arrow).
Ax: axillary recess, G: glenoid fossa, H: humeral head, SST: supraspinatus tendon
