Abstract
- The author comments on the risk of radiation exposure facing patients with urolithiasis due to diagnostic and treatment measures. Topics covered include the link of cancer cases with computed tomography (CT) scans performed in the U.S., the absence of reliable radiation-free options for the diagnosis of kidney stones and ultrasound-guided techniques for percutaneous renal access and stone manipulation for use at time of percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
