Radiation Exposure in the Follow-Up of Patients with Urolithiasis Comparing Digital Tomosynthesis, Non-Contrast CT, Standard KUB, and IVU

Abstract

Among the different imaging modalities for follow-up of patients with urolithiasis, DT was associated with the least radiation exposure (0.83 mSv). This ED corresponds to a fifth of NCCT or IVU studies. Further studies are needed to demonstrate the sensitivity and specificity of DT for the follow-up of nephrolithiasis patients.
