Evaluation of the Correlation Between Breast Artery Calcification Score and Coronary Artery Calcium Score in Prediction of the Risk for Cardiovascular DiseaseIşıl Yurdaışık1, Fuad Nurili21Istinye University Medical Park Gaziosmanpasa Hospital, Department of Radiology, Istanbul, Turkey2Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Department of Radiology and Interventional Radiology, Avenue, New York, USA Objective: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) score is a scoring system used in stratification of coronary risks. Breast artery calcification (BAC) is a type of medial artery calcification which can be seen on mammography, and also known as arteriosclerosis. It has been reported that there is a significant correlation between BAC and CAC, and presence of BAC improves the ability for detection of women with CAC. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between BAC on mammography and CAC. Işıl Yurdaışık, Fuad Nurili.
