 Mayo
Clinic Releases New Kidney Stone Research at the 2009 RSNA
Meeting |
Managing patients with kidney stones would be a lot
easier if physicians knew precisely what kind of stones they were
dealing with. They'd know after a quick CT scan, for example, whether
lithotripsy was a viable option or more invasive measures were needed.
Prospects for noninvasively determining stone
composition have recently gotten a boost from dual-source CT (DSCT),
which studies show can reliably distinguish uric acid from nonuric acid
stones.
This month, researchers from the Mayo Clinic in
Rochester, MN, raised the bar again with their use of special beam
filtering combined with DSCT. How high? According to results unveiled at
the 2009 RSNA meeting, the use of dual-energy scanning combined with
beam filtering and special software can reliably distinguish as many as
five different stone types noninvasively.
