To assess reliability of Guy's, Seoul National University renal stone (S-RESC) and S.T.O.N.E. scores in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and assess utility in discriminating outcomes [Stone free rate (SFR), complications, need for multiple PCNL sessions and auxiliary procedures] valid across parameters of experience of surgeon, independence from surgical approach, and variations in institution-specific instrumentation.

Cystic renal cell carcinoma (CRCC) and cystic collecting duct carcinoma (CCDC) share similar oncogeni and some imaging findings. The aim of this study was to characterize the clinical and CT imagings features of CRCC and CCDC.

To report the incidence of urinary tract malignancies (UTM) and to compare the diagnostic accuracy of cytology with cystoscopy, renal ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) in patients with hematuria.

Progression of bone metastasis in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is assessed using bone scan (BS) and correlates modestly with overall survival (OS). Because of the poor reliability of BS and routinely performed computed tomography (CT) scans, we assessed bone progression by integrating BS and CT.

PURPOSE - To assess the approachability of the upper calyx through a lower calyx access in prone and supine percutaneous nephrolithotomies (PCNLs), and to employ computerized tomography (CT) to analyze anatomical factors that may influence it.

The aim of this study is to compare the maximum stone diameter of ureteral stones in the coronal plane to the axial and determine the clinical significance of the coronal diameter.

A retrospective chart review was performed on patients seen in clinic between September 2013 and November 2015.
