Abstract
Knowledge of urinary stone composition can guide therapeutic intervention for patients
with calcium oxalate (CaOx) or hydroxyapatite (HA) stones. In this study, we determined
the accuracy of noninvasive differentiation of these two stone types using dual-energy
CT (DECT) and urine supersaturation (SS) and pH values.
