Evaluation

Measurement of a 5.6 mm large kidney stone in soft tissue window (width of 400 HU, center at 50 HU) versus skeletal window (W1800,C400). 145 HU is regarded as an appropriate cutoff to distinguish stone from surrounding tissue.[2]

The proper sizing of a stone is most critical at around 5 mm.[note 1]

Notes

  1. ↑ Ureteric stones less than 5 mm in diameter pass spontaneously in up to 98% of cases, while those measuring 5 to 10 in diameter pass spontaneously in less than 53% of cases.
