Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen is usually appropriate for the initial imaging of
many urinary tract diseases, due to its wide availability, fast scanning and acquisition of thin …

Uric acid stones account for 10%–15% of all urinary stones. Changes in dietary habits,
environment or both can result in the increase of uric acid stones. The formation of uric acid …

Purpose To standardize workflow for dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) involving
common abdominopelvic exam protocols. Materials and methods 9 institutions (4 rsDECT, 1 …

Background The aims of this study were to determine the predictive value of decision
support analysis for the shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) success rate and to analyze the data …

Objectives To assess the accuracy of low-dose dual-energy computed tomography (DECT)
to differentiate uric acid from non-uric acid kidney stones in two generations of dual-source …

Computed tomography (CT) attenuation value of ureteral stones is one of the predictors of
shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) outcome. It is common to use the mean Hounsfield units (HU) to …

Purpose To compare noise texture and accuracy to differentiate uric acid from non-uric acid
urinary stones among four different single-source and dual-source DECT approaches in an …

Abstract Introduction and Objectives: The mineral composition of a urinary stone may
influence its surgical and medical treatment. Previous attempts at identifying stone …

The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between stone composition and
single-energy noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) parameters, including stone …

Computed tomography (CT) is the most widely used imaging technique in the diagnosis,
management, and follow-up of genitourinary diseases. 1 CT scanning can accurately detect …
