Calcified or radiopaque lithiases refer to solid formations, such as stones, that contain calcium and are visible on X-rays due to their density. These formations can occur in various organs, such as the kidneys or gallbladder, and are often associated with conditions like kidney stones or gallstones. The term "radiopaque" indicates that these stones block X-ray radiation, making them discernible during imaging studies. Their detection can help diagnose underlying health issues and guide treatment options.
