I've found this discussiion about micro calcifications in breast tissue to
be very interesting. I read some of the earlier posts on Lactnet about
the possible association between previous inury/inflammation in the breast
and the development of micro calcifications, which makes a lot of sense
and it would be interesting to have more research on this.
I'm wondering if there could also be a link between micro calcifications
and osteoporosis?
In some other soft tissue, for example the arterial wall, there is
increased calcification coincident with a decrease in bone mineral
density. I'm curious if there could be any similar mechanisms involved
with breast microcalcifications?
