New MRI technique could reveal hidden tendon damage
NCT ID NCT06381492
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study looked at 62 people with patellar tendon injuries to see if a special MRI technique called diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can better measure tendon structure. Participants had MRI and ultrasound scans, did knee function tests, and filled out questionnaires. The goal was to learn how DTI compares to standard methods, not to test a treatment.
