Abstract
The urolithiasis disease is charactezied by the formation of crystallized hard stone in the urinary system. Among the standard clinical procedure to eliminate these stones, they are fragmented in order to be extracted through natural routes. These fragments are analyzed with a microscope and infrared spectroscopy to determine the biochemical composition of the stones. However, with technological innovation in laser-based treatment of urinary stones, it is more complicated to make these analyses because of the pulverization of the stones. Therefore there is a need for investigating new approaches exploiting optical techniques to identify the stone's nature before pulverization.
The present study aims at exploring the potential of three complementary methods in the optical characterization of urinary stones ex vivo samples, including hyperspectral imaging, double integrating spheres-based optical property measurement and terahertz spectroscopy and imaging.
Preliminary results obtained over a limited number of sample from three different classes of urinary stones will be presented and discussed. They confirm the potential interest and complementary relevance of the different approaches to differentiate the latter groups.
