About this trial

The main purpose of this study is to develop sensitive radiographic measurement techniques that can be used as outcome measures along with patient-reported outcome instruments in clinical trials of calcinosis cutis treatments, and potentially be used to assess disease course and treatment response in clinical practice. The goal is to test the performance of the software.
