THE ROLE OF DUAL ENERGY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY FOR BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISATION OF URINARY STONES-STUDY AT A TERTIARY CARE CENTER
Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
Nephrolithias is a growing problem worldwide due to the increase in risk factors contributing to the disease burden. enal calculi are known to be the most common factors responsible for the development of chronic renal failure. In a prospective study done by Taylor and co-workers, which was spanned over 46 years have shown that obesity and weight gain and their effect on renal calculi. The studies show that the risk factors that have increased over the years mostly contribute toward the development of renal calculi which are radiolucent and can be missed and can be a concern for the urologist when the patient presents with symptoms suggestive of colic. Hence we conducted the study Renal CT is a the diagnostic tool considered as a standard for diagnosing renal calculi. Hence we conducted the study compare the urinary stone chemistry as determined by Dual-Energy Computed Tomography (DECT) with direct analysis by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIRS) and predict its applicability in management.
