64 year old man with long history of left shoulder pain.

This image sequence is from an ultrasound of the patient's rotator cuff, and was obtained during an interventional procedure. A needle is introduced into the region of the calcifications and moved around while applying suction. If enough calcifications can be aspirated from the tendon, patients can have relief of their pain, as this patient did. Try to identify what you are looking at before going to the labeled images.
