Name of journal: AJR. American journal of roentgenologyAbstract: CONCLUSION: These calcifications can manifest in various patterns, recognition of which can increase specificity for various diagnoses. In this article, we review a wide range of calcified hepatic pathologic abnormalities at CT and propose an approach for diagnosis.OBJECTIVE: Because of the ubiquitous use of radiologic imaging, particularly with CT, the detection of focal hepatic calcifications has increased. Calcifications can be seen in cystic and solid masses associated with both benign and malignant causes, pseudomasses, and miscellaneous pathologic abnormalities.All authors: Elsayes KM, Elshikh M, Gaballah A, Garg N, Javadi S, Korivi BR, Menias CO, Patnana M, Pickhardt PJ, Shaaban AMFiscal year: FY2019Fiscal year of original publication: FY2018Digital Object Identifier: Date added to catalog: 2018-05-08

CONCLUSION: These calcifications can manifest in various patterns, recognition of which can increase specificity for various diagnoses. In this article, we review a wide range of calcified hepatic pathologic abnormalities at CT and propose an approach for diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE: Because of the ubiquitous use of radiologic imaging, particularly with CT, the detection of focal hepatic calcifications has increased. Calcifications can be seen in cystic and solid masses associated with both benign and malignant causes, pseudomasses, and miscellaneous pathologic abnormalities.
