“…Ubiquity of the PC PC may occur in various parts of the body, namely kidneys, 12-16 arteries, 50,51 breast, 52-54 gallbladder, 55,56 liver, 57 pancreas, 58,59 prostate, 60,61 saliva, 62 thyroid, 63 heart 64 and cartilage. [65][66][67][68] Calcifications may occur also on medical devices namely bioprosthetic heart valves, 69 mammary implants, 70 stents 71,72 and intraocular lens.…”

Research on pathological calcifications constitutes an exciting topic at the interface between physics, chemistry and medicine. The relationship between their physicochemical characteristics and the pathology responsible for their formation offers a unique opportunity to perform a significant medical diagnosis, to assess the interaction between drugs and these biological entities as well as to develop new drugs. Regarding synchrotron radiation, the emergence of microbeam allows the clinician to perform an early diagnosis. Indeed, we will start this review with a clinical case where Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation as a probe allowed the clinician to save the kidney function of a patient. Following this example, we will see that investigations on pathological calcifications constitute an elegant way to gather major information on different public health problems such type 2 diabetes as well as on rare diseases. To attain this goal, this mini-review dedicated to structural and chemical investigations and based on selected and recent data collected through techniques using third generation synchrotron radiation as a probe is proposed to the reader.

“…Nowadays, SEM of pathological calcifications [10][11][12] is a very active research field. Typical recent publications include studies on kidney [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], salivary stones [25], breast [26][27][28], cardiovascular system [29,30], cartilage [31,32], gallstones [33], prostatic stones [34,35], thyroid [36], liver [37], ileal [38], or medical devices [39]. These examples convincingly show that SEM is an essential laboratory tool that continues to provide new clues about the pathogenesis of these biological samples.…”

Since its first use several decades ago, scanning electron microscopy has been used in numerous investigations dedicated to biological systems. This contribution focuses on observations on pathological calcifications in order to review several major applications of primary importance to the clinician. Among these, we highlight such observations as medical diagnostic tools in pathologies arising from primary hyperoxaluria and urinary infections.
