The role of survey radiography, contrast radiography, and ultrasonography in the assessment of urocystolithiasis has been primarily one of detection. Information about the radiographic characteristics of uroliths (size, shape, radiopacity, surface characteristics, number detected) for characterization and diagnosis of urocystolithiasis is emerging; however, there are no studies on the accuracy or sensitivity of these techniques. In this article, the intent is to update knowledge about available imaging techniques used in the detection and characterization of urocystoliths based on recent studies designed to evaluate their accuracy in prediction of different urocystoliths mineral content.
X线平片、造影检查及超声检查在膀胱结石评估中的作用主要是用于检测。关于尿路结石的影像学特征（大小、形状、不透X线性、表面特征、检测到的数量）以用于膀胱结石的特征描述和诊断的相关信息正在不断涌现；然而，尚无关于这些技术准确性或敏感性的研究。在本文中，我们旨在基于近期旨在评估其预测不同膀胱结石矿物质含量准确性的研究，更新有关用于检测和描述膀胱结石的现有成像技术的知识。
