Abstract
Mammography is one of the most common screening test in the female population. In addition to identifying breast cancer, vascular calcification is clearly visualized on the mammogram, which is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, and a number of other chronic non-communicable diseases. The article presents a case report of a postmenopausal woman with breast artery calcification and osteoporosis. Identification of women at risk of non-cancer diseases significantly expands the prospects of using mammography for screening.
