Core Tip	Vascular calcification (VC) is common among patients with chronic kidney disease. VC is observed in arteries of all sizes. Several imaging techniques have been utilized in the evaluation of VC. Plain radio­graphs are simple, readily available and can somewhat differentiate between intimal and medial calcification. Mammography detects medial calcification and is especially useful among women. Ultrasonography is suitable for superficial arteries. Analyses of wall thickness and lumen size are possible. Computed tomography, the gold standard, is the most sensitive technique and offers the most accurate analysis of the severity and progression of VC.
