case_images: Achilles tendon rupture. An MRI of the ankle (Figure 1) was performed to rule out any other possible injuries, followed by admission and tendon repair.
case_images: Coronal non-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis.. (A) Multiple bilateral non-obstructive renal calculi; (B) calcifications in the left common iliac artery.

case_images: FIG2
case_images: Upon presentation, the patient reported a history of multiple non-obstructive urinary stones, which began developing during his adolescence, as shown in a non-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis (Figure 2). Incidentally, calcifications were detected in both common iliac arteries on the CT scan, more significantly in the left common iliac artery (Figure 2).
case_images: Radiological findings of several presentations of multiple joint pain.. (A) Plain X-ray of the right shoulder showing calcifications at the insertion of the supraspinatus tendon. (B) Right shoulder ultrasonography showing calcifications at the insertion of the supraspinatus tendon. (C) Right shoulder ultrasonography showing significant limitation of abduction and positive subacromial impingement, with limited abduction at 30-40 degrees. (D) Left shoulder ultrasonography showing a stable partial thickness tear of the subscapularis tendon. (E) Left knee MRI sagittal PD FS showing quadriceps tendinopathy and partial tear. (F) Sagittal view of thoracolumbar spine MRI STIR showing multilevel degenerative changes of the lower thoracic and lumbar spine, including end plate changes and intervertebral disc degenerative changes.
