Myocardial calcifications are not uncommonly encountered by the cardiac imager and may have a range of imaging appearances, from focal calcific deposits to diffuse myocardial involvement. A number of pathological processes can both cause and result from myocardial calcification; therefore, accurate identification and characterization are important. This pictorial essay will review the mechanisms, etiologies, imaging features, and differential diagnoses of myocardial calcification with imaging examples.
心脏影像医师经常会遇到心肌钙化,其影像学表现多样,可以是局灶性的钙化灶,也可以是弥漫性心肌受累。许多病理过程既能引起心肌钙化,也能导致心肌钙化;因此,准确的识别和定性很重要。本文通过影像学实例,回顾了心肌钙化的发生机制、病因、影像学特征和鉴别诊断。
