Diagnostic performance and feasibility of dual-layer detector dual-energy CT for characterization of urinary stones in patients of different sizes

ConclusiondlDECT allowed accurate differentiation of uric acid and non-uric acid stones among patients with different body sizes with acceptable image quality.Clinical impactThe ability to accurately differentiate uric acid stones from non-uric acid stones using color-overlay Zeff images allows for better tailored treatment strategies, helping to choose appropriate interventions and prevent potential complications related to urinary stones in patient care.Graphical abstract
