Small calcific deposit can be identified on the CT-like MR images (A) and simulated radiographs (B) in the supraspinatus tendon. Yet, the calcific deposit was neither clearly circumscribed and depictable on the simultaneously, as part of the clinical routine protocol, acquired intermediate-weighted image with fat saturation (C) nor on the T1-weighted image (D). Moreover, on the four-weeks preceding conventional radiograph (E) the calcification was not depictable, most likely due to the early stage of the calcific tendinitis. An additional CT scan (F) that was acquired as part of a chest CT with elevated arms, 3 weeks after the MR images were acquired, showing the small calcified deposition within the supraspinatus tendon
