  2. Teacup calcification (breast) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teacup_calcification_(breast)

    When horizontal x-ray beams, commonly used in lateral projections, are used to image the breast, the fluid inside the cysts, such as milk of calcium, is imaged tangentially. [2] This technique often produces linear or curvilinear patterns of calcification. In some cases, a semilunar shape may appear, which is why this sign is called "teacup sign."

  3. Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcifying_epithelial...

    Histopathology will reveal prominent intercellular bridges and nuclear changes such as pleomorphism, hyperchromatism and prominent nucleoli. The mitotic figures are rare. Spread throughout the epithelium and connective tissue are spherical amorphous calcifications. Variants include the clear cell CCEOT; whose cells have clear cytoplasms.

  4. Calcifying odontogenic cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcifying_odontogenic_cyst

    Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a rare developmental lesion that comes from odontogenic epithelium. [2] It is also known as a calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor, which is a proliferation of odontogenic epithelium and scattered nest of ghost cells and calcifications that may form the lining of a cyst, or present as a solid mass.

  5. Microcalcification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcalcification

    Mammogram microcalcifications in ductal carcinoma in situ. Microcalcifications are tiny deposits of calcium salts that are too small to be felt but can be detected by imaging. [1] They can be scattered throughout the mammary gland, or occur in clusters. Microcalcifications can be an early sign of breast cancer. Based on morphology, it is ...

  6. Mammography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammography

    The goal of mammography is the early detection of breast cancer, typically through detection of characteristic masses, microcalcifications, asymmetries, and distortions. As with all X-rays, mammograms use doses of ionizing radiation to create images. These images are then analyzed for abnormal findings.

  7. Gastrointestinal stromal tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_stromal_tumor

    Image showing Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor after surgical removal For localized, resectable adult GISTs, if anatomically and physiologically feasible, surgery is the primary treatment of choice. [ 22 ] : 69 Surgery can be potentially curative, but watchful waiting may be considered in small tumors in carefully selected situations. [ 28 ]

  8. Spectral imaging (radiography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_imaging_(radiography)

    Material-decomposed images can be used to differentiate between healthy and malignant tissue, such as micro calcifications in the breast, [20] ribs and pulmonary nodules, [21] cysts, solid tumors and normal breast tissue, [22] posttraumatic bone bruises (bone marrow edema) and the bone itself, [23] different types of renal calculi (stones), [24 ...

    Calcification of intralymphatic tumor thrombi. [1] Association with lesions. Psammoma bodies are commonly seen in certain tumors such as:
