A thickened peroneus brevis tendon has been considered to be an important morphologic parameter of tendinitis (PBT). Previous researchers have found that the thickness (PBTT) is correlated with inflammation tendon. However, inflammatory hypertrophic change different from simple thickness. Thus, we devised cross-sectional area (PBTCSA) as a new diagnostic analyze hypertrophy whole PBT. We assumed PBTCSA major useful for early PBT diagnosis. Peroneus images were collected 22 patients and normal subjects who underwent ankle-magnetic resonance imaging revealed no evidence The T1-weighted axial evaluated at ankle level all participants. PBTT was measured thickest point transverse image ligament most hypertrophied in A-MR images. average 2.22 ± 0.29 mm group 2.85 0.36 group. 6.98 1.54 mm2 13.11 2.45 had significantly greater (P < .001) than did. receiver operating characteristic curve analysis suitable cutoff value 2.51 mm, 81.8% sensitivity specificity, AUC score 0.93. 10.08 mm2, 90.9% 0.98. Even though both associated PBT, more sensitive parameter.
