Images of AT of T2DM patients and healthy adults obtained by STE technology. (a) A 64-year-old healthy male. The measured Emean value of the distal segment of AT was 422.60 kPa. (b) A 64-year-old healthy male. The measured Emean value of the middle segment of AT was 460.73 kPa. (c) A 64-year-old healthy male. The measured Emean value of the proximal segment of AT was 562.21 kPa. (d) A 66-year-old male patient with T2DM. The measured Emean value of the distal segment of AT was 312.73 kPa. (e) A 66-year-old male patient with T2DM. The measured Emean value of the middle segment of AT was 383.00 kPa. (f) A 66-year-old male patient with T2DM. The measured Emean value of the proximal segment of AT was 414.77 kPa. AT, Achilles tendon; T2DM: type 2 diabetes mellitus; STE: Sound touch elastography; Emean: mean Young ‘s modulus
