ADVANTAGES OF KNOWING STONE COMPOSITION IN-VIVO
• Avoid unnecessary and unsuccessful shock wave lithotripsy procedures.
• More directed diagnostic workup in recurrent stone formers.
• Information generally limited to patients who have stone retrieved – spontaneous passage/ surgery.

• Stones show varying degrees of X-ray attenuation that is dependent on their chemical composition

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
• Attenuation parameters (mean HU, median HU, maximum HU) of stone calculated on non-contrast CT study.
• Chemical composition of retrieved stone assessed with X-ray diffraction crystallography.
• Relationship between attenuation parameters and chemical composition sought.

• GE Dual Slice– 120 kVp– Automated tube current modulation– Pitch 1.5:1– Slice thickness – 3 mm
• Sample size – 51 stones
![Page 6: PREDICTION OF CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF URINARY CALCULI IN-VIVO BASED ON COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY ATTENUATION VALUES Abstract Id: IRIA - 1050](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649eab5503460f94bb1aac/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Parameters studied for each stone– Mean HU– Median HU– Maximum HU– Periphery HU – Core HU (Difference)– Chemical Composition
![Page 7: PREDICTION OF CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF URINARY CALCULI IN-VIVO BASED ON COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY ATTENUATION VALUES Abstract Id: IRIA - 1050](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649eab5503460f94bb1aac/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Slice with maximum stone width
(for mean and median HU)
• Each slice showing stone assessed for maximum HU and highest selected
• Magnified
• Bone window with finer manual adjustment to better appreciate edges
![Page 8: PREDICTION OF CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF URINARY CALCULI IN-VIVO BASED ON COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY ATTENUATION VALUES Abstract Id: IRIA - 1050](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649eab5503460f94bb1aac/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• 4 Region of Interest HU measurements– Mean, Median– Maximum– Periphery– Core
• Avoid periphery and consider adjacent slices (for mean and median HU)– Stones not oriented perpendicular– Avoid errors due to partial volume
![Page 9: PREDICTION OF CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF URINARY CALCULI IN-VIVO BASED ON COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY ATTENUATION VALUES Abstract Id: IRIA - 1050](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649eab5503460f94bb1aac/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Potential pitfalls and limitations
• Region of Interest selection – subject to intra-observer and inter-observer variability.
• Stones are not homogeneously dense.• Stones were categorized according to major composition – but
stones are not always pure.• Small sample size

DISCUSSION• 4 studied stone types showed statistically significant differences in
– Mean HU– Median HU– Maximum HU– Hydroxyapatite > Ca oxalate monohydrate > Ca oxalate dihydrate > Uric Acid
• No significant pattern in Periphery- Core HU value differences– Although uric acid showed smaller differences consistent with literature that
they are homogeneous
• Discriminant function analysis – prediction accuracy of 84.5 %
![Page 18: PREDICTION OF CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF URINARY CALCULI IN-VIVO BASED ON COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY ATTENUATION VALUES Abstract Id: IRIA - 1050](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649eab5503460f94bb1aac/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Hierarchy observed in density of stones in agreement with literature– Hydroxyapatite – densest– Uric acid – most lucent
• But absolute attenuation measurements are not in agreement with literature

• Attenuation measurements dependent on parameters other than characteristics of stone like– Stone size– Scan collimation– X-ray tube potential– Inter-scanner differences
![Page 20: PREDICTION OF CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF URINARY CALCULI IN-VIVO BASED ON COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY ATTENUATION VALUES Abstract Id: IRIA - 1050](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649eab5503460f94bb1aac/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
CONCLUSION
• Significant relationship exists between chemical composition of a urinary stone and its CT attenuation values.
• Stones can be predicted IF – Database of attenuation characteristics is built (continually over
time) for given CT machine and given protocol with stones of known chemical composition
