They are usually caused by inflammation or tuberculosis infection, and are formed by the deposition of calcium salts in local tissues. Calcified foci can be divided into microcalcified foci (≤1mm in diameter) and macrocalcified foci (>1mm in diameter) according to the size of the diameter, and according to the different parts of the occurrence of the foci can be divided into calcified foci of the lungs, hepatic foci, prostate foci, renal foci, splenic foci, breast foci, and so on.
