Software-Estimated Stone Volume Is Better Predictor of Spontaneous Passage for Acute Nephrolithiasis.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To evaluate whether computer program-estimated urolith stone volume (SV) was a better predictor of spontaneous passage (SP) compared with program-estimated stone diameter (PD) or manually measured stone diameter (MD), and whether utilizing SV and MD together provided additional value in SP prediction compared with MD alone. Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients with acute renal colic and single renal/ureteral stone on CT from July 2017 to April 2020. Diameter obtained from radiology reports or manually measured when report not available. Semiautomated stone analysis software (qSAS) was used to estimate SV and PD. ROC analysis was performed to compare accuracy of SV vs MD vs PD in predicting SP by 2, 4, and 6 weeks. Subg
