Abstract Purpose: To compare color Doppler twinkling artifact and B-mode ultrasonography
in detecting kidney stones. Patients and Methods: Nine patients with recent CT scans …

To assess the ability of the color Doppler twinkling artifact to detect renal stones relative to
acoustic shadowing, we scanned seven uric acid calculi embedded in a tissue mimicking …

Objectives The twinkling artifact is an emerging tool for identifying urinary tract calculi. The
purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the twinkling …

The twinkling artifact is a color Doppler artifact, but it could be used in the confirmation of
urinary stones. Conventionally, gray-scale criteria (echogenic foci with acoustic shadowing) …

This prospective study evaluates the usefulness of the twinkling artefact (TA) seen on colour-
Doppler ultrasound (US) in diagnosing urolithiasis. US and standard computed tomography …

In recent years, work has been done to understand the mechanisms of Doppler ultrasound
twinkling artifacts (TAs) and why they appear over kidney stones. In the work described here …

Purpose: To compare the detection of urinary stones using standard gray scale ultrasound
for diagnostic accuracy using the color Doppler" twinkling sign". Material and Methods: Our …

Aims: Ultrasound is a noninvasive method used for the diagnosis of urinary lithiasis. When
the length of the stone is less than 5 mm, its detection may be difficult. The twinkling artifact …

Purpose To retrospectively correlate sonographic color Doppler twinkling artifact within the
kidneys with unenhanced computed tomography (CT) in the detection of nephrolithiasis …

The aim of the study was to investigate the diagnostic value of the colour Doppler twinkling
artefact (TA) in renal stone disease. To enhance the evidence of TA, a preliminary in vitro …
