Utility of Hounsfield density of urinary stones in predicting the stone clearance rate for ESWL therapy
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
This study was conducted on one hundred and eight patients to determine the stone clearance rate with respect to NCCT –HU density of the stone. Various statistical measures were applied for assessing the predictability about the success of ESWL therapy for that stone’s HUD. As per the final analysis of the study we can conclude that Hounsfield Unit Density bears significant relationship for predicting the success of ESWL therapy. Keywords: Hounsfield unit, Urinary stone. Computed Tomography, Shock Wave Lithotripsy.
