3D-CT outshines old formula for kidney stone stent prediction
NCT ID NCT07337954
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a 3D-CT scan can better predict if a patient with a 1-2 cm kidney stone will need a stent after shockwave treatment, compared to the usual formula. Fifty-six adults with a single stone were treated without a stent first, and their stone volume was measured both ways. The goal was to find a cutoff volume that reliably shows when a stent is needed to avoid complications.
