FIGURE 1.

US image of the representative supraspinatus tendinosis in longitudinal plane (A). Region of interest was selected from the footprint of the tendon to the myotendinous junction of supraspinatus muscle (encircled with red dots) and cropped for the purpose of texture analysis (B).

Box plots of the amplitude using gray level run length matrix method (GLRLM) features before and after platelet rich plasma (PRP) treatment (supraspinatus tendons encoded with blue and common extensor tendons encoded with pink).

FIGURE 3.

Clinical evaluation dependency of average texture feature per subject divided by tissue region and time. Tissues are coded with blue and pink lines, for supraspinatus and common extensor, while the time of measurement is indicated by a red circle for the first measurement before treatment and a green triangle for the measurement after treatment.
