Hi guys, Just continuing along the theme…
I scanned this lady where I saw an oval echogenic strucutre in the mid fibres of the subscapularis. It looked a bit bulkier than just granulation tissue. She wasn’t tender in this spot specifically. I was thinking dystrophic calc because she wasn’t tender and it had a slight shadow to it. Or could it possibly a matured hydroxyapatite deposit? (Still trying to wrap my head around the differences).
Also, What is your opinion on using colour to characterise these calcifications in the shoulder? Are they able to distinguish between dystrophic and hydroxyapatite deposits? Or doesn’t add any value?
Thanks!
