Abstract:
The prospect for a treatment by chemical lysis and the effective disease prevention appropriateness are the purposes of the early recognition of the uric acid stones, which counts up to 10% of all kidney stones. Until now, this characterization was possible only afterwards by the chemical analysis of an expelled stone. Neither biology nor radiology contributed as a valid share on this subject. CT with "dual energy" mode seems to fill this gap. This concept, known since the seventies, reaches the clinical routine now thanks for the use of a "dual source CT".
