Hard spots
I have this also....I am going to a research center in the morning. My doctor just told me that it means I have kidney stones in the kidneys...they won't bother you unless they block the ureter.
Punctate density adjacent to the base of the first metacarpal may indicate possible calcification or presence of small bone spurs in the area. It could be related to conditions such as osteoarthritis or inflammatory arthritis affecting the joint. Further evaluation with imaging studies like X-rays or MRI may be needed for accurate diagnosis and management.
in regard to sense organs, what is punctate distribution?
Erythema is a reddening of the skin and sign of irritation, injury or inflammation. Punctate erythema is a spotted rash, or minute spots.
calcification of the aorta inferiorly?
Punctate foci are 'lesions' on the brain, typically caused by unknown trauma to the brain or conditions where demyelination of brain tissue occurs. Punctate foci are identified by brain MRI, with and without contrast although using contrast normally provides a more accurate picture of all lesions. In layman's terms, punctate foci have also been described as 'popcorn calcifications' in the brain tissue. Some punctate foci are associated with normal aging process.
It is unlikely that the calcification will disappear.
Itching
The phrase "calcification of the thoracic" is incomplete. There a missing word after "thoracic."
Can radiation therapy cause imflamation and calcification on breast mammeogram? No, it will not cause calcification, it causes something called radiation pneumonitis, its where the lung becomes too inflammed to be useful. I can be seen as a density on xrays but not as a calcification
The issue is not damage to the implants, but the discomfort that breast calcification can cause when it occurs around an implant. Heavy calcification may require removal of the implant.
Never heard of calcification of appendix. No such medical term exists
