The American Urological Association Nephrolithiasis Clinical Guideline Panel was
established in 1991. Since that time, the Panel has developed three guidelines on the …

This article summarizes the history of how renal stones have been treated over the centuries
and reviews current treatments and outcomes for renal stones. The authors provide an …

OBJECTIVE: To assess the value of noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) as a
possible predictor of renal stone disintegration by shock wave lithotripsy (SWL). PATIENTS …

OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to perform a meta-analysis to evaluate the
diagnostic performance of low-dose CT for the diagnosis of urolithiasis (seven studies, 1,061 …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether the skin-to-stone distance (SSD), body mass index
(BMI), and Hounsfield unit (HU) density can be used as independent predictors of stone-free …

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether stone attenuation and the skin-to-stone distance (SSD)
can predict for stone fragmentation by SWL independently. Identifying the factors predictive …

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of urinary calculi attenuation values from non‐
contrast computed tomography (NCCT) in predicting the outcome of treatment by …

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether body mass index (BMI) and Hounsfield units (HUs)
could be used as independent predictors of stone-free status after extracorporeal shock …

Introduction: In recent years several new parameters such as Hounsefield unit density and
skin to stone distance (SSD) have been determined to correlate with successful …

Purpose: Studies suggest that HU values on noncontrast computerized tomography may
predict the ability to fragment urinary calculi. We determined whether the HUs of in vivo …
