Use of Pocket-Sized Ultrasound Device in the Diagnosis of Shoulder Pathology Nine of the studies were diagnosed with a pathologic entity during the standard diagnostic ultrasound and 1 was found to be normal. Diagnoses ranged from biceps tendinopathy, calcific tendonitis, and partial-articular-sided rotator cuff tear. Evaluator 1 correctly identified 7/10 diagnoses and evaluator 2 correctly identified 8/10 diagnoses. The evaluators also rated their confidence in diagnosis as 4.2/5 and the image quality as 3.7/4 from the pocket-sized ultrasound.
