  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.
