2226 VII Imaging <strong>of</strong> the Musculoskeletal System<br />
A B C<br />
Figure <strong>47</strong>-28. Longitudinal split<br />
<strong>of</strong> the peroneus brevis tendon (PB)<br />
in a 62-year-old. Straight axial T1-<br />
weighted (A), proton-density (PD)–<br />
weighted (B), <strong>and</strong> T2-weighted<br />
images through the syndesmosis.<br />
The PB (black arrow) is well seen<br />
on T1 <strong>and</strong> PD weighting, located<br />
between the lateral malleolus (LM)<br />
<strong>and</strong> the peroneus longus tendon<br />
(PL). At this level, the PB has a<br />
normal flattened appearance.<br />
However, the T2-weighted image<br />
shows an abnormal amount <strong>of</strong><br />
fluid in the common peroneal<br />
tendon sheath (white arrowhead).<br />
Straight axial T1-weighted (D), PDweighted<br />
(E), <strong>and</strong> T2-weighted (F)<br />
images through the LM. At this<br />
level, the PB is abnormally<br />
flattened to such an extent that it is<br />
draped over the PL, best seen on<br />
the PD image (E). Straight axial T1-<br />
weighted (G), PD-weighted (H), <strong>and</strong><br />
T2-weighted (I) images distal to<br />
the LM.<br />
