[Radiologic study of arterial calcifications of the lower extremities in diabetic patients].
The authors analyse the frequency of arterial calcifications in the lower limbs in diabetics. These calcifications were found in the thighs and legs and also in the feet. They were more frequent in diabetics than in normal subjects and occurred earlier in life. Their presence showed the existence of a severe microangiopathic process.
