ABSTRACT

CaHA will not interfere with the interpretation of X-rays or CT scans. While not always apparent on X-rays, CaHA is clearly distinguishable from surrounding bone on CT scans, permitting unobstructed scrutiny of adjacent structures. In a study of 58 patients treated for either HIV-related facial lipoatrophy or nasolabial fold correction, images taken from 1 to 426 days following Radiesse injection showed that CaHA was unlikely to be confused with serious radiographic anomalies ( 9 ).
