Abstract
- Analysis of the composition of a urinary stone is one of the most important steps in the clinical management of patients with urolithiasis. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry and petrographic microscopy are the techniques currently used. Novel technical developments in recent years - such as Raman spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging - have resulted in new approaches to improve urinary stone analysis. In future, table-top portable systems may be used that allow stones to be rapidly examined directly after the operation. These systems may even be integrated into lithotripsy laser systems.<br /> (© Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.)
