This contribution reviews the pathology and morphology of coronary calcifications. It summarizes the indications for investigation of the coronary arteries. The standard protocols for scan acquisition using electron beam and conventional computed tomography are described as well as various methods for evaluation such as the traditional Agatston scoring method and the newer three-dimensional scoring algorithms. Guidelines for interpreting scores are also reviewed. Major limitations of the reproducibility of the calcium score measurement are summarized. Future aspects of multirow-detector spiral computed tomography with retrospective electrocardiographic triggering for quantifying coronary calcium are discussed.
This is a case report of carpal tunnel syndrome caused by an idiopathic calcareous lesion within the carpal canal. The median nerve was trapped between the transverse carpal ligament and the calcified mass. The mass was predominantly composed of calcium phosphate. Surgical release of the transverse carpal ligament and removal of the calcareous mass relieved the symptoms.
