Dual-energy Computed Tomography (DECT) Scan for Determination of Renal Stone Composition: A Phantom Study
Background: Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) scan has been proposed as an effective modality for determining the chemical composition of renal stone subtypes. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of DECT in the identification of renal stone type and composition versus biochemical analysis as the gold standard. Materials and Methods: The type of 146 renal stones, removed from patients by surgery, was determined in a medical laboratory. The stones were then inserted into the kidney of an anthropomorphic Rando phantom, and DECT scans were acquired. The stone type, specified by the scanner software, was compared with the results of biochemical analysis as the gold standard. Results: The DECT scans showed acceptable accuracy in identifying the chemical composition of renal stone subtypes. Based on the comparison of biochemical analysis and DECT results, the accuracy values for cystine, uric acid, and calcium-oxalate stones were 97%, 100%, and 97%, respectively. Conclusion: Based on the present results, DECT could detect pure uric acid, cystine, and calcium-oxalate stone types with high sensitivity. However, for mixed stones, the stone type, directly identified by DECT scan, was not reliable.
期刊介绍:
The Iranian Journal of Radiology is the official journal of Tehran University of Medical Sciences and the Iranian Society of Radiology. It is a scientific forum dedicated primarily to the topics relevant to radiology and allied sciences of the developing countries, which have been neglected or have received little attention in the Western medical literature.
This journal particularly welcomes manuscripts which deal with radiology and imaging from geographic regions wherein problems regarding economic, social, ethnic and cultural parameters affecting prevalence and course of the illness are taken into consideration.
The Iranian Journal of Radiology has been launched in order to interchange information in the field of radiology and other related scientific spheres. In accordance with the objective of developing the scientific ability of the radiological population and other related scientific fields, this journal publishes research articles, evidence-based review articles, and case reports focused on regional tropics.
Iranian Journal of Radiology operates in agreement with the below principles in compliance with continuous quality improvement:
1-Increasing the satisfaction of the readers, authors, staff, and co-workers.
2-Improving the scientific content and appearance of the journal.
3-Advancing the scientific validity of the journal both nationally and internationally.
Such basics are accomplished only by aggregative effort and reciprocity of the radiological population and related sciences, authorities, and staff of the journal.
