Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1
Unenhanced MRI images of the pelvis in the axial plane. T2 weighted image (A) and short tau inversion recovery weighted image (B) demonstrate a band of free fluid in the bilateral ischial bursae along with thickening and loss of hypointense signals of the tendons at the origin of hamstring muscle complex representing chronic microtears (white arrow).
Figure 2
Figure 2
Unenhanced MRI coronal images of the pelvis. T2-weighted image (A) and short tau inversion recovery weighted image (B) depict tendon fraying and fluid signal intensity at the HMC origin. The abnormal hyperintense signals are extending along the HMC tendons suggest repetitive tear with enthesopathy (white arrow). HMC, hamstring muscle complex.
Figure 3
Figure 3
Non-enhanced MRI sagittal images of the pelvis. Short tau inversion recovery images of right (R) and left (L) ischial tuberosities demonstrate hyperintense signal with a band of fluid collection at bursae. Fluid is seen extending along the thickened hamstring muscle complex tendons represent bursitis with enthesopathy (white arrow).
