Popis: Objective:In this study, we aimed to determine the contribution of hounsfield unit (HU) measurement with non-contrast-enhanced computed tomography to the treatment of a single ureteral stone, and compare the value of HU and intraoperative “GATA scale” score in deciding for DJ stent placement in patients with a single ureteral stone.Materials and Methods:Ninety patients diagnosed with a single ureteral stone in our clinic between January 2018 and September 2018 were evaluated prospectively. We planned a new scale called “GATA scale” with three benchmarks. The validity and reliability of HU were compared with those of GATA scale score. Statistical significance was defined as p
