Ultrasound elastography (UE) and ultrasound tissue characterisation (UTC) are two newer modes of ultrasound (US) which have begun to attract scientific interests as ways to improve tendon characterisation. These modes of US show early promise in improved diagnostic accuracy, prediction of at-risk tendons and prognostication capability beyond conventional grey-scale US. Here, we provide a review of the literature on UE and UTC for Achilles, patellar and rotator cuff tendons. The translational potential of this article: The present literature indicates that UE and UTC could potentially increase the clinician's ability to accurately diagnose the extent of tendon pathology, including preclinical injury.
