    Radiologic calcifications from parasitic infections are common and appear late in disease progression without metabolic issues. This study details diagnostic criteria for various parasitic calcifications, excluding fungal and protozoan types.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Parasitology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Radiologic calcifications are frequently observed in medical imaging.
    • Calcifications of parasitic origin are a common subtype.
    • These calcifications are dystrophic and heterotopic, not linked to metabolic disorders.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the morphologic and topographic criteria of parasitic calcifications.
    • To aid in the diagnosis of parasitic infections through imaging findings.
    • To differentiate parasitic calcifications from other types.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of radiologic images showing parasitic calcifications.
    • Analysis of morphologic and topographic features.
    • Correlation of imaging findings with epidemiological, biological, and clinical data.

    Main Results:

    • Detailed description of the appearance of various parasitic calcifications.
    • Exclusion of calcifications caused by fungi and protozoa from the analysis.
    • Presentation of key diagnostic information for each identified parasite.

    Conclusions:

    • Parasitic calcifications have distinct radiologic characteristics.
    • Understanding these features aids in diagnosing parasitic diseases.
    • This knowledge is valuable for radiologists and clinicians.
