Calcium buildup in breast arteries detected by mammography usually is not a sign of cancer, but it might indicate a higher risk for heart disease, two research teams reported at the Menopause ...

Benign and cancerous calcium phosphate deposits that may look identical on a mammogram have distinct differences in their structures and formation processes, according to researchers at the ...

Breast calcifications are deposits of calcium that can be seen on a mammogram of the breast. There are two types: macrocalcifications and microcalcifications.

Benign and cancerous calcium phosphate deposits that may look identical on a mammogram have distinct differences in their structures and formation processes, researchers found.

Many women, once they reach a certain age, begin having mammograms on a regular schedule — usually either annually or biannually starting at age 40, 45 or 50 — to look for signs of breast cancer.

Researchers at the University of Chicago have developed a computer technique that "learns" how benign and malignant breast calcifications appear on digital mammograms so not only can it detect ...

They may be caused by benign breast conditions, or, less often, by breast cancer. Another important change that can be seen on a mammogram is a mass, which may occur with or without calcifications.

A new study suggests that mammograms may pinpoint a key risk factor, demonstrating an association between breast arterial calcifications and cardiovascular disease.

Calcifications are small growths, part of aging, that can either be cancerous or benign and can indicate an early stage of breast cancer.

Today we report on studies that might lead to a closer look at mammography findings involving clogged arteries. Calcium buildup in breast arteries detected by mammography usually is not a sign of ...
