Background Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a clinical condition that is often initially
diagnosed and managed in the emergency department (ED). The high rates of potential …

The aim of our study is to analyze the relationships between the characteristics of renal
stones determined by unenhanced helical computed tomography (UHCT) and their …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the utility of the Hounsfield Unit (HU) values as a
predictive factor of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy outcome for ureteral and renal …

PURPOSE: Unenhanced multidetector computerized tomography is the imaging modality of
choice for urinary calculi but exposes patients to substantial radiation doses with a …

Objective: Pelvic phleboliths are commonly encountered on plain and CT imaging and
remain a source of frustration when attempting to differentiate them from ureteral calculi …

Purpose: To determine whether the distance from skin to stone, as measured by computed
tomography (CT) scans, could affect the stone-free rate achieved via extracorporeal shock …

Purpose To evaluate the efficacy of a knowledge-based iterative model reconstruction (IMR)
algorithm for reducing image noise in ultralow-dose (ULD) CT for urolithiasis. Materials and …

Objective. To investigate the clinical application of the three‐dimensional (3D) radiomics
model of the CT image in the diagnosis and identification of ureteral calculus and phlebolith …

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of reconstructed slice thickness on the
detection and characterization of human urinary calculi on a multidetector helical CT …

Background Ureteral stones are a common diagnosis in the emergency department (ED)
setting, often found with computed tomography (CT). The high frequency of phleboliths can …
