Pulmonary calcifications are a frequent finding in CT examinations of the chest. In many cases, characteristic CT morphology and distribution of pulmonary and mediastinal calcifications may lead to a straightforward specific diagnosis of the underlying disease. In that respect, calcifications are often the residual finding of previous infections. Less often, they may be due to neoplasms, metabolic disorders, occupational exposure or previous therapy. This review focuses on the etiology, pathogenesis and morphological CT features of pulmonary calcifications. A knowledge of the technical aspects of CT imaging is required to verify calcifications and avoid pitfalls.
肺部钙化是胸部CT检查中常见的表现。在许多情况下，肺部和纵隔钙化的特征性CT形态及分布可能有助于直接对潜在疾病做出明确的特异性诊断。在这方面，钙化常常是既往感染的残留表现。较少见的情况下，它们可能由肿瘤、代谢紊乱、职业暴露或既往治疗引起。本综述重点关注肺部钙化的病因、发病机制及CT形态学特征。需要了解CT成像的技术细节以确认钙化并避免误诊。
