Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2016 Kidney stones are mineral deposits in the renal calyces and pelvis that are found free or attached to the renal papillae. They contain crystalline and organic components and are formed when the urine becomes supersaturated with respect to a mineral. Calcium oxalate is the main constituent of most stones, many of which form on a foundation of calcium ...

Assessing deep learning methods for the identification of kidney stones in endoscopic images [PDF]
Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2021 Knowing the type (i.e., the biochemical composition) of kidney stones is crucial to prevent relapses with an appropriate treatment. During ureteroscopies, kidney stones are fragmented, extracted from the urinary tract, and their composition is determined
