X-rays : X-rays can identify bone structure, being useful in the detection of pathology of the skeletal system as well as for detecting some disease processes in soft tissue. Traditional plain x-rays are less useful in the imaging of soft tissues such as the brain or muscle, but sometimes if calcification is present you may be able to see them. A fracture is usually healed after several week, so is unlikely that a trauma or fracture that happened several years ago is not healed yet. Please go see a specialist that may be able to help you.

Veins, : Veins, arteries and blodd vessels may be visible if they have calcifications with in them. Its pretty apparent when a calcification on x-ray is coming from a vein. Swollen tissues often have unusual soft tissue patterns that may show up on x-ray. These may seem to be dark lines in the field. The dark lines were most likely from soft tissue swelling. Look at this childs x-ray with a buckle fracture of the distal radius ( arrows) note the "lines" to the left.
