Area of Science:
- Radiology
- Cosmetic Surgery
- Dermatology
Background:
- Hand rejuvenation with dermal fillers is increasingly popular for aesthetic concerns.
- Calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) is a common filler used for restoring dorsal hand volume.
- CaHA fillers are radiopaque, potentially mimicking pathological calcifications on imaging.
