Deposit of bone-like calcium containing material.
The formation of calcium carbonate on the walls or pipes, or in a heater due to the precipitation of calcium carbonate.
deposition of mineral salts, primarily hydroxyapatite, in a framework formed by collagen fibers in which the tissue hardens
Calcium salt deposits in soft tissues.
Small calcium deposits in the breast tissue that can be seen by mammography
impregnation with calcium or calcium salts. Also called calcareous infiltration
Process by which calcium from the blood is deposited abnormally into tissues from injury, infection or aging. Often it is part of healing and not a sign of active disease.
Calcium is a mineral found in the bones but it also circulates in the bloodstream and is deposited in many different types of tissue in the body, including the breast. Calcification helps the body in the healing processes. In the breast, calcium is most commonly a sign of a benign (non-cancerous) disease or problem. Early breast cancer can also show up as calcium deposits. It is one of many things a radiologist looks for when reading a mammogram.
The process by when tissues become hardened by deposits of calcium.
To become hard or stony by being impregnated with calcium salts. May apply to tree roots etc in caves.
a process that impregnates something with calcium (or calcium salts)
tissue hardened by deposition of lime salts
a deposit of calcium in the tissues
a deposit of the mineral calcium in the breast tissue
Deposits of calcium in a breast lump that show up on mammogram as white dots
The depositing of calcium salts in the body, which occurs normally in teeth and bones but abnormally in injured muscles and narrowed arteries.
a process in which tissue becomes hardened as a result of deposition of insoluble salts; can signify local tumor presence
the pulp is hardened due to calcium and phosphorous salts
The strengthening and hardening of a bone in areas where calcium has been deposited.
The laying down of calcium in tissues. Dystrophic calcification occurs in diseased tissues and metastatic calcification occurs in normal tissues as a result of hypercalcemia (raised plasma calcium).
Deposits of lime salts in the formation of a tooth.
The process of building bone by suffusing tissues with calcium salts. Also called ossification.
Deposition of chalky (calcific) material in tissue, leading to bone formation.
The process of extracting calcium from seawater and depositing it as calcium carbonate.
Accumulation of calcium salts into tissue.
calcium accumulation in the soil as a result of low rainfall
process in which tissue becomes hardened as a result of calcium deposits.
Depositing of calcium; in atherosclerosis, calcification of plaques results in hard, brittle arterial walls.
The depositing of calcareous matter within tissues.
Process by which organic tissue becomes hardened by a deposit of calcium salts within its substance.
Deposition of lumps or granules of calcium within the matrix of the tissues. A sign of chronic low-grade inflammation and/or other forms of local cell damage (such as rejection) --Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) Another name for extracorporeal circulation (ECC).
tiny calcium deposits within the breast, singly or in clusters, often found by mammography.
( Ped.). A soil-forming process resulting in accumulation of calcium and magnesium carbonates in the lower horizons and found largely in semi-arid and sub-humid desert and grassland regions and in more humid parkland forested regions. ( BCFT.).
Small deposits of calcium in the tissue, which can be seen on mammograms.
Calcium present in the blood may collect and deposit calcified masses in body tissues, such as the leaflets of the heart valves, which reduce the flexibility of the leaflets.
Tissue hardening as a result of calcium deposition.
The process where tissue is hardened by the invasion of calcium. It may be a normal process, as in the development of bone, or abnormal as in the calcification of a heart valve.
Calcium (chalk) deposits, e.g. on blood vessel walls.
A process by which corals and coralline algae extract calcium from the seawater and deposit it in the form of calcium carbonate.
Accumulation of calcium deposits on tissue. It occurs on leaflets of biological heart valves, reducing their flexibility and making them more rigid and fragile.
Abnormal hardening or stiffening of a body part.
A process in which tissue becomes hardened due to calcium deposits.
A process that occurs when tissue or noncellular material in the body becomes hardened by deposits of calcium salts.
refers to the process where tissue hardens due to calcium salt deposits. Calcification occurs in arteries and plays a role in atherosclerosis.
Deposition of calcium salts.
A dry environment soil-forming process that results in the accumulation of calcium carbonate in surface soil layers.
Process in which tissue or noncellular material in the body becomes hardened.
the process of hardening of body tissues by their infiltration with calcium
Buildup of calcium carbonate on swimming pool walls and equipment; caused by precipitation of calcium from hard water.
Used by some to refer to the processes of calcium carbonate accumulation.
Abnormal deposits of calcium and magnesium salts in tissue.
