“…Several studies have proved that stone attenuation valuesmeasured in Hounsfield Units (HU) on computed tomography (CT) -can predict the outcome of SWL. Although the threshold values differ in various studies it has generally been accepted that higher CT attenuation values have poor outcomes in terms of success rates (2)(3)(4)(5). However, most of these studies address only the role of CT attenuation values from the success rate standpoint and there is a paucity of literature investigating the association between preoperative stone characteristics and the need for postoperative ancillary procedures.…”

“…For each stone, the mean attenuation value was calculated from a small, non-overlapping region of interest. The SWL procedures were all performed as previously described (3). The treatments were performed under conscious sedation using intravenous fentanyl as the primary anesthetic agent.…”
