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.

D014689 Venous Insufficiency Impaired venous blood flow or venous return (venous stasis), usually caused by inadequate venous valves. Venous insufficiency often occurs in the legs, and is associated with EDEMA and sometimes with VENOUS STASIS ULCERS at the ankle. Insufficiencies, Venous,Insufficiency, Venous,Venous Insufficiencies
