Chapter 16 Recognizing Abnormal Calcifications and Their Causes.
Soft tissue calcifications lend themselves to an intuitive approach that ties together a diverse group of diseases. While this chapter focuses primarily on abdominal calcifications, the same principles and approach apply to dystrophic calcifications found anywhere in the body.
第 16 章 识别异常钙化及其原因。
软组织钙化是一种直观的方法，可以将多种疾病联系在一起。 虽然本章主要关注腹部钙化，但同样的原则和方法也适用于身体任何部位的营养不良性钙化。
Dystrophic calcification is soft tissue calcification that occurs in tissue that is already abnormal. (Metastatic cal- cification, by contrast, is calcification in otherwise normal soft tissues due to disturbances in calcium/phosphorus metabolism.)
营养不良性钙化是发生在已经异常的组织中的软组织钙化。 （相比之下，转移性钙化是由于钙/磷代谢紊乱而在其他方面正常的软组织中的钙化。）
On conventional radiographs, the nature of most calcifications can be determined by examining their pattern of calcification and their anatomic location.The same principles hold true for CT evaluation of calcifications except that the anatomic location is usually easier to determine on CT.
常规X线片上，大多数钙化的性质可以通过检查它们的钙化模式和解剖位置来确定。除了解剖位置通常更容易确定外，CT评估钙化的原则也相同 在 CT 上。
