3D-CT outshines old formula for kidney stone stent prediction
NCT ID NCT07337954
First seen Jan 19, 2026 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study looked at 56 adults with single kidney stones to see if a 3D-CT scan could better predict the need for a ureteral stent before shockwave lithotripsy compared to the standard formula. Researchers measured stone volume using both methods and found that a volume over 1.88 cm³ on 3D-CT was a good cutoff for predicting stent need. The goal is to improve treatment planning and reduce complications.
