The Spectrum of Caseous Mitral Annulus Calcifications
Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a chronic, degenerative condition of the fibrous mitral annulus, which may transform to liquefaction necrosis MAC, a rare variant of caseous MAC. We present a series of experiences, showing the varying manifestations

Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus - the complementary role of computed tomography and transthoracic echocardiogram. [PDF]
Purpose: Caseous calcification is a relatively uncommon variant of calcification of the mitral annulus. The purpose of the study was to assess characteristic radiological features of caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) using computed ...

Multimodality imaging of a giant caseous calcification of the mitral annulus
We present an unusual case of giant caseous calcification of the mitral annulus in a 58-year-old female patient. The mass was detected during echocardiography and was defined as a big, round echodense lesion attached to the posterior mitral ring annulus.

Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus on MDCT: a rare intracardiac mass
Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus is a rare form of chronic degenerative process in the mitral valve fibrous ring with a mass-like appearance that has to be in the differential of the radiologist and cardiologist.

A 64‐year‐old woman with dizziness and blurry vision underwent an evaluation for a possible stroke with a head‐neck CT scan and a transthoracic echocardiogram. The head‐neck CT scan was unremarkable, but the echocardiogram was notable for a 2.0 × 2.3 cm heterogeneous echodensity attached to the mitral valve.

Imaging of Cardiac Valves by Computed Tomography
This paper describes “how to” examine cardiac valves with computed tomography, the normal, diseased valves, and prosthetic valves. A review of current scientific literature is provided. Firstly, technical basics, “how to” perform and optimize a multislice CT scan and “how to” interpret valves on CT images are outlined.
