The clinical and radiologic findings resolved over 5 months. The disease is characterized by the presence of painless subcutaneous nodules, mainly over bony prominences, possibly associated with hypercalcemia and calcification. ...
متن کاملBone scanning in neonatal subcutaneous fat necrosis.
abscesses—particularly subdiaphragmatic—are difficult to detect utilizing this modality. In ultrasonography on the other hand, the presence of the liver is quite useful, for it dis places bowel that might otherwise block sound transmission due to its gas content, and thus renders this area ideal for ultrasonic search. Similarly, in the pelvis, the presence of a filled bladder allows detaile...
