Cystine calculi: correlation of CT-visible structure, CT number, and stone morphology with fragmentation by shock wave lithotripsy
{{output}}
Cystine stones are often highly resistant to shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), but it has been reported that cystine stones of "rough" morphology are actually quite susceptible to SWL. Based on the observation that rough cystine stones contain void regions that ar... ...
