Vascular calcification, a common pathological phenomenon in atherosclerosis, diabetes, hypertension, and other diseases, increases the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the prevention and detection of vascular calcification play an important role. At present, various techniques have been applied to the analysis of vascular calcification, but clinical examination mainly depends on non-invasive and invasive imaging methods to detect and quantify. Computed tomography (CT), as a commonly used clinical examination method, can analyze vascular calcification. In recent years, with the development of technology, in addition to traditional CT, some emerging types of CT, such as dual-energy CT and micro CT, have emerged for vascular imaging and providing anatomical information for calcification. This review focuses on the latest application of various CT techniques in vascular calcification.
血管钙化是动脉粥样硬化、糖尿病、高血压等疾病中常见的病理现象，会增加心血管疾病的发病率和死亡率。因此，血管钙化的预防和检测具有重要意义。目前，各种技术已应用于血管钙化分析，但临床检查主要依靠非侵入性和侵入性成像方法进行检测和量化。计算机断层扫描（CT）作为一种常用的临床检查方法，可用于分析血管钙化。近年来，随着技术的发展，除了传统CT外，一些新兴的CT类型，如双能CT和微CT，已用于血管成像并为钙化提供解剖学信息。本文综述了各种CT技术在血管钙化中的最新应用。
