The supraspinatus tendon is the most important structure of the rotator cuff and subject to tendinopathy and tears.
Tears of the supraspinatus tendon are best seen on coronal oblique and ABER-series.
In many cases the axis of the supraspinatus tendon (arrowheads) is rotated more anteriorly compared to the axis of the muscle (yellow arrow).
When you plan the coronal oblique series, it is best to focus on the axis of the supraspinatus tendon.
