Abstract Treatment of renal calculi is highly dependent on the chemical composition of the
stone in question, which is difficult to determine using standard imaging techniques. The …

Grating-based X-ray dark-field tomography is a promising technique for biomedical and
materials research. Even if the resolution of conventional X-ray tomography does not suffice …

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of kidney stone composition
analysis using spectral detector computed tomography scanner (SDCT) with normal-and low …

X-ray computed micro-tomography typically involves a trade-off between sample size and
resolution, complicating the study at a micrometer scale of representative volumes of …

Purpose: We differentiated calcium oxalate monohydrate and calcium oxalate dihydrate
kidney stones using micro and clinical computerized tomography images. Materials and …

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of x-ray dark-field radiography
for the noninvasive detection of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals as a novel diagnostic tool …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to determine the ex vivo ability of dual-energy
dual-source CT (DSCT) with additional tin filtration to differentiate among five groups of …

Mineral building materials suffer from weathering processes such as salt efflorescence,
freeze–thaw cycling, and microbial colonization. All of these processes are linked to water …

Purpose To compare a research photon-counting–detector (PCD) CT scanner to a dual-
source, dual-energy CT scanner for the detection and characterization of renal stones in …

This is the first reported use of low-angle X-ray scattering for the investigation of urinary
calculi. Low-angle X-ray scattering (LAXS) measures the diffraction of a broad spectrum of X …
