Re: quantitative factors of unenhanced CT for predicting fragmenting efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy on pancreatic duct stones

Sir —We read with much interest the recently published article about predicting fragmenting efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) on pancreatic duct stones for chronic pancreatitis (CP) by unenhanced computed tomography (CT).1 Predicting the efficacy of ESWL is meaningful; however, the study needs to be improved.
