Abstrakt: The present work studies two different strategies to identify urinary calculus. On one hand, (linear or parametric and rank or non-parametric) correlation methods using a mu-LIBS system are studied. On the other hand, elemental ratios of reference materials are determined by using a higher-energy laser and an Echelle spectrograph with an ICCD camera, although without microscope. A data-treatment method was applied for each system and real samples of kidney stones--previously analyzed by IR spectroscopy--were used for reliable evaluation of two identification strategies.
