The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of carotid artery calcifications (CACs) on panoramic radiographs of Polish dental patients.
Panoramic radiographs made between 2005 and 2012 in 4000 patients born between 1922 and 1958 were accessed from the server of the Department of Radiology and analyzed for the presence or absence of CACs by a group of trained dentists.
The anatomical area covered by the analysis was visible in 2189 images (54.73%). Calcifications in the carotid arteries were found in 468 (21.68%) patients, including 327 (14.94%) unilaterally and 141 (6.44%) bilaterally. CACs were found in 284 (60.68%) women and 184 (39.32%) men.
The prevalence rate of CACs detected on panoramic radiographs in patients aged 54 and older was 21.68%, which makes it an important clinical problem.
本研究旨在评估波兰牙科患者全景片上的颈动脉钙化（CAC）的发生率。
从放射科服务器中获取了 2005 年至 2012 年间出生于 1922 年至 1958 年之间的 4000 名患者的全景片，并由一组经过培训的牙医对其进行分析，以确定是否存在 CAC。
在 2189 张图像（54.73%）中可以看到分析所涵盖的解剖区域。在 468 名患者（21.68%）中发现了颈动脉钙化，其中 327 名（14.94%）为单侧，141 名（6.44%）为双侧。CAC 出现在 284 名（60.68%）女性和 184 名（39.32%）男性中。
在 54 岁及以上的患者的全景片中检测到 CAC 的发生率为 21.68%，这是一个重要的临床问题。
