Objective:To evaluate the application value of dual-source CT in detecting the components of urinary calculi in children.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 433 children treated for urinary calculi in the Urological Center, People′s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from March 2018 to January 2021 was performed in parallel with dual-source CT examination. The data was processed by the post-processing workstation and the stone composition was analyzed. The analysis results were compared with the results of infrared spectroscopy, and the accuracy of dual-source CT analysis of stones and the predictive value of dual-source CT various measurement indexes for the types of stones were compared. The measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( Mean± SD), and the comparison of the measurement indexes of each stone type [average CT value, dual energy difference, dual energy ratio and dual energy index (DEI)] were compared by One-way Anova analysis of variance. Draw receiver operator characteristic curve and calculate the area under the curve (AVC), then evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of each index. Results:Dual-source CT detected 282 calcium oxalate stones, 238 calcium phosphate stones, 39 uric acid stones and 7 cystine stones. Compared with the results of infrared spectroscopy, the accuracy rates of dual-source for calcium oxalate stones and hydroxyapatite stones were 84.2% and 81.8%, respectively. Both uric acid stones and cystine stones were accurately detected. In addition, dual energy difference, dual energy ratio, and DEI have reliable predictive value for calcium oxalate stones and calcium phosphate stones, especially dual energy ratio and DEI, both AUC>0.75.Conclusion:Using advanced post-processing analysis methods, dual-source CT can reliably analyze the components of children′s urinary tract stones, and provide a reference for choosing personalized treatment plans.
