Calcinosis symptoms included painful deposits (88 %), soft tissue swelling (66 %), and recurrent infections (44 %) from these deposits. On DECT, calcinosis deposits had the same color and density as the bone and no MSU was found. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

However, their CT images showed better details of the calcinosis locations in the soft tissues as well as the bone destruction, especially if there was overlying bulky deposits or flexion contractures. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

On physical examination the patient appeared cachectic, with normal cardiac, pulmonary and abdominal examination, and characteristic sclerodermatous skin changes, including diffuse thickening, taut fingers with flexion contractures, the typical microstomia [ard.bmj.com]

However, CT imaging was superior to plain radiographs in locating these deposits within the soft tissues and may be a useful tool to study SSc-calcinosis affecting the hands, particularly in the setting of progressive hand deformities. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Figure 1 X‐ray of right elbow: soft‐tissue calcification throughout the elbow and forearm. Calcinosis universalis is soft‐tissue calcification presenting as a complication of JDM. It is often detected in childhood in 30% to 70% of patients. [journalofhospitalmedicine.com]

Radiographically, idiopathic tumoral calcinosis demonstrates lobulated, cloudy soft-tissue calcifications near a joint (A). [jaocr.org]

Soft tissue calcifications may be easily demonstrated on plain radiographs, but CT scan is more effective in demonstrating the location and extent of calcifications. [sajr.org.za]

Pathology: Calcinosis may affect the skin, subcutaneous layers including the fascia and muscle. Calcific lesions are rich in hydroxyapatite but may also contain calcium oxalate and uric acid in crystalline form. [rheumaknowledgy.com]
