Outline of Final Research Achievements	This study revealed that CT value of renal papilla in patients with urinary stone disease was associated with the disease severity, the index for calcium oxalate crystallization, and the stone recurrence rate. The results indicate that CT value of renal papilla could serve as an effective tool for selecting stone patients who need precise examination and aggressive treatment for recurrence prevention.
