Measuring Stone Free Rate after Mini Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: Radiography, Ultrasound, or CT scan?

Stone-free rate (SFR) after treatment can be estimated by plain radiography and ultrasonography, or computed tomography (CT) scanning. Based on the guidelines, CT is the primary method for SFR estimation after PCNL (percutaneous nephrolithotomy) due to its high sensitivity and wide availability. How...
