We show that modeling myofiber diameter using time
dependent diffusion is feasible in the rotator cuff by
comparing the diameters of the infraspinatus and
supraspinatus across 10 shoulders. Fiber diameters in 2
clinical patients with full thickness tears were
quantified longitudinally within 2 weeks prior to
surgery and 3 months after surgery. Our method showed a
systematic drop in fiber diameter after 3 months
indicating that the model could serve as a biomarker for
atrophy consequently and surgical outcome.
