title: [Roentgenological differential diagnosis of calcifications of extremities (author's transl)].
abstract: Calcifications of extremities are frequently encountered in radiological practice. Their etiology, localization and differential diagnosis related to topography, distribution, shape, and dimension of calcifications are discussed. The roentgenological appearance of different diseases is demonstrated by typical radiographs.
