title: Subcutaneous ossification of the legs examined by SPECT.
abstract: The typical appearance of subcutaneous ossification on a single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) bone image is reminiscent of the patterns discovered by radiographs and computerized tomography. A case demonstrates the advantage of SPECT imaging to clarify the actual location of soft tissue Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate in this condition.
