摘要

Breast arterial calcification (BAC), frequently visible on screening mammography, is a potent biomarker for cardiovascular disease risk in women. Unlike atherosclerosis, BAC represents medial arterial calcification characterized by arterial stiffness rather than narrowing. BAC has been linked to myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure and may offer a scalable risk stratification tool through AI-driven quantification. Standardizing BAC measurement and reporting is essential to improving long-term clinical outcomes for women.
