  • Title: [Experiences with instrumental methods for urinary calculi analysis].
    Author: Asper R, Schmucki O.
    Journal: Helv Chir Acta; 1979 Aug; 46(3):393-7. PubMed ID: 489410.
    Abstract:
    To reduce the urinary calculi incidence by calculi formers, it is important to know the composition of these stones. Unfortunately the chemical analysis does not give very reliable results. Looking for a better method to analyse urinary calculi, three instrumental methods were tested: infared spectroscopy, thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction. The experimental results and economical considerations show that the X-ray diffraction analysis of urinary calculi would meet the goal of improved care of patients with stones.
