The Composition Analysis of Renal Staghorn Calculi and their Characteristics using Spectral CT
In staghorn calculi of a single composition, the metabolic type was common, while metabolic-metabolic and metabolic-infectious types frequently occurred in staghorn calculi with mixed compositions. Except for average Zeff values, water-iodine material separation performed an important auxiliary function in differentiating stones' compositions using spectral CT.
