A novel approach to classify urinary stones using dual-energy kidney, ureter and bladder (DEKUB) X-ray imaging.

CONCLUSIONS: Acceptable results achieved by the low-cost, low-dose DEKUB system in detection of kidney stone composition not only obviates a need for complicated imaging systems such as dual-energy computed tomography, but also provides an available and useful aid for physicians to choose between treatment approaches.
