The mean age of the patients with calcification was 55.6\u2009\u00b1\u200913.1 (min: 22\u2013max: 77). Bilateral calcifications were detected in 25 (22.1%) patients, whereas unilateral calcifications were found in 88 (77.9%) patients. While the rates of tonsilloliths, sialoliths, phleboliths, and lymph node calcifications were statistically similar in male and female patients, the rate of carotid artery calcifications was found to be higher in men than in women (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.017).

USG is an important diagnostic tool in determining the localization of soft tissue calcifications that can be confused on two\u2010dimensional radiographs, their relationship with neighboring structures, and defining calcification. It can be used safely in the detection of soft tissue calcifications as it provides dynamic imaging without the use of radiation or contrast material compared to other advanced imaging methods.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/jum.16117","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,27]],"date-time":"2022-10-27T15:46:10Z","timestamp":1666885570000},"page":"1057-1064","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Ultrasonographic
