What is parenchymal echogenicity?

Parenchyma is the functional part of an organ (while stroma is the supporting tissue). Echogenicity means ability to produce an echo. So parenchymal echogenicity means the ability of the functional part of an organ to produce an echo (for ultrasound examination for example).


What does calcification refers too?

Calcification refers to the accumulation of calcium salts in body tissues. This process can lead to the hardening or stiffening of tissues, which may impair normal functioning. Calcification is commonly seen in conditions such as atherosclerosis and kidney stones.


What is the difference between ossification and calcification?

Ossification is the process of bone formation, where cartilage is replaced by bone tissue. Calcification is the process of deposition of calcium salts in tissues, making them hard and rigid. While ossification specifically refers to bone formation, calcification can occur in various tissues in the body.


What is costochondral calcification?

Costochondral calcification is the abnormal hardening or calcification of the cartilage that connects the ribs to the breastbone (sternum). This condition can cause chest pain, difficulty breathing, and tenderness in the affected area. Treatment may involve pain management and addressing any underlying causes, such as inflammation or injury.


When does calcification of cartilage occur?

Calcification of cartilage typically occurs during the process of endochondral ossification, which is the process of bone formation from a cartilage model. This typically occurs during development in utero and continues into early childhood. Embryonic mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondrocytes, which then undergo calcification to form the initial scaffold for bone formation.
