Summary

This study looked at 56 adults with a single kidney stone (1-2 cm) to see if a 3D CT scan could better predict the need for a stent before shockwave treatment. Researchers compared the 3D volume measurement to the traditional formula. The goal was to find a cutoff point that helps doctors decide when a stent is needed to avoid complications.
