AI-Powered Ultra-Low radiation CT could revolutionize kidney stone diagnosis
NCT ID NCT04490343
First seen Jun 17, 2026 · Last updated Jun 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether an ultra-low-dose CT scan, combined with a deep-learning AI reconstruction, can accurately detect urinary tract stones. 62 adults with known or suspected kidney stones received both a standard low-dose CT and an additional ultra-low-dose scan (less than 1 mSv). The goal was to see if the AI-enhanced ultra-low-dose method matches the standard scan's accuracy while exposing patients to much less radiation.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
ultra-low dose CT with deep-learning image reconstruction
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could allow doctors to diagnose kidney stones using much less radiation than standard CT scans.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study (62 people) testing a new imaging technique. The AI method may not work as well in all patients or settings, and further validation is needed.
