Abstract

The value of lateral magnification soft x-ray roentgenography using a Computed Radiography (CR) system was studied. ROC curve analysis revealed that a CR system has virtually the same, or a better ability than a screen-film system for detecting thyroid calcification. According to our criteria the CR system an accuracy rate of 77.1% in malignant/benign diagnosis was obtained.

Calcific myonecrosis and tenosynovitis: sonographic findings with correlative imaging.

We report the sonographic appearance of a case of calcific myonecrosis and tenosynovitis with correlative plain radiography and CT findings. Calcific myonecrosis is a rare complication of previous trauma that presents as a tumor-like calcified mass years after an initial injury, most commonly affecting the anterior compartment of the lower leg. Although the clinical, radiographic, and MRI features of calcific myonecrosis have been well described, to our knowledge the sonographic appearance has not been reported previously in the literature.
