Achilles tendinopathy is a common injury among athletes. It has been reported that the calf muscles are involved and affected by Achilles tendinopathy. In this study, tomoelastography, a multifrequency MR-elastography (MRE) technique, was applied to patients with Achilles tendinopathy for the characterization of the biomechanical properties of gastrocnemius muscle. Preliminary findings showed the stiffness of gastrocnemius muscle increased significantly as a result of tendinopathy.
