This study showed that sodium MRI is sensitive enough to
visualize macromolecular alterations which are present
after ciprofloxacin treatment. Interestingly, gagCEST
does not demonstrate this ability, although the p-value
for BULK was only slightly above 0.05. T2* reflects
mostly the water and collagen interplay, therefore, no
change was observed. In conclusion, sodium MRI was
proven to be a potential marker for Achilles
tendinopathy after ciprofloxacin treatment.
