Can stone density on plain radiography predict the outcome of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy for ureteral stones?
PURPOSE The objective was to determine whether stone density on plain radiography (kidney-ureter-bladder, KUB) could predict the outcome of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) for ureteral stones. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 223 patients treated by ESWL for radio-opaque ureteral stones of 5 to 20 mm were included in this retrospective study. All patients underwent routine blood a...
متن کاملIs stone radiodensity a useful parameter for predicting outcome of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy for stones < or = 2 cm?
PURPOSE Several factors determine the success of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) for kidney stones: stone size, stone location within the collecting system, stone type, and the SWL machine used. It has been suggested that stone radiodensity, as determined either by plain radiography or computed tomography attenuation values, may be an independent predictor of SWL success. We examined...
متن کامل[Stone burden on extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy].
Based on the 89 stones treated by ESWL therapy alone, the factors which influence the number of ESWL shots were analyzed. Stone volume was calculated by summing up the value "length x short axis" for each stone. The value correlated well with the number of shots needed to disintegrate the stone (p less than 0.01). The stones below the pelvis-ureteral junction needed twice shots compared with st...
متن کاملPredicting outcome by images?
Features from CT, MRI, and PET scans are related to survival of patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma. Individualized image-based tissue characterization allows a whole body view of all tumor deposits and organs at risk. The time is ripe to embark on huge international studies aiming to validate and implement this technology in clinical practice.
متن کاملPredicting Outcome by Images?
In this issue of Clinical Cancer Research, Win and colleagues (1) present data that suggest that tumor characteristics and, more specifically, textural heterogeneity on a CT scan predict survival in patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The idea to characterize tissues on the basis of imaging is obviously not new. In the early 1980s, attempts were reported aiming at characterizing t...
