Kidney Stones Pictures

Recently, there have been great technological steps taken in the field of producing accurate pictures of kidney stones. Besides routine x-rays and ultrasounds, modern science has developed many new ways for doctors to determine the size and location of these stones. Having these pictures taken will help the patient to receive proper treatment the first time around.

One quick and versatile method is to use what’s called an infrared spectroscopy. In this case, a high tech camera known as a spectrophotomer is used to expose the kidney stone to infrared light. That light is absorbed and measured, and a positive identification is made.

Another valuable tool in discovering the extent of kidney stone material is a polarizing microscope. This microscope is able to tell doctors the size and shape of the stone. These properties are then recorded and compared with previous research, and an accurate diagnosis can then be made. This is important because different stones require different types of attention.

Once the properties of any given kidney stone are discovered using photography, the treatment of the stone is next. This treatment, depending on the data received, does not always require surgery. A very safe alternative to surgery is called natural dissolution therapy, seen in products such as Uriflow™. This treatment, backed by clinical studies, breaks the stone down at its biochemical level, providing full relief from the pain of passing it.
