Vascular calcifications in early-breast radiotherapy planning-CT: Opportunistic detection and cardiovascular risk assessment
This study shows that vascular calcifications detected incidentally on radiotherapy planning CTs for early BC are common and associated with an increased risk of CV events that is independent of conventional CVRF. These findings suggest that planning CTs in these patients should be routinely reviewed to check for vascular calcifications.
