Abstract

Despite the widespread availability of MR imaging, CT remains a vital modality for the evaluation of disorders of the spine, offering superior assessment of bone abnormalities, as well as calcification. Advances in technology have enhanced the capabilities of CT, providing exciting new options for data rendering and display. Depending on the clinical indication, either CT or MR may be the modality of choice in the evaluation of spinal disease.

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.
