Computed tomography (CT) scanning is now the standard imaging technique for detecting and characterizing urolithiasis. However, the potential effects of the radiation exposure from CT examinations have raised concern among some physicians. This article describes the radiation doses for various urolithiasis-imaging techniques and describes techniques to optimize and reduce radiation exposures to patients undergoing these examinations. Potential future directions in radiologic techniques used for studying urolithiasis are also discussed.
计算机断层扫描（CT）现已成为检测和表征尿路结石的标准成像技术。然而，CT检查所产生的辐射暴露的潜在影响引起了一些医生的关注。本文介绍了各种尿路结石成像技术的辐射剂量，并描述了优化和减少接受这些检查患者辐射暴露的技术。还讨论了用于研究尿路结石的放射学技术未来可能的发展方向。
