Abstract

Size, location and estimation of urinary stone composition dictate treatment decisions. Non-contrast low-dose CT has replaced i.v.urography for the evaluation of size and position of stone. Recently, CT has also improved its ability to, in certain cases, estimate urinary stone composition. Dual source CT with dual energy algorithms can distinguish urate from non-urate stones with high precision, which can be crucial in treatment planning.
