X-ışını difraktometresi ve taramalı elektron mikroskobu kullanarak böbrek taşlarının faz ve morfolojik karakterizasyonunun incelenmesi

The accurate determination of the material composition of a kidney stone is crucial for understanding its formation. Such that the type of treatment varies according to the type of stone. It is equally important to determine the stone type correctly in order to determine the preventive treatment correctly. From this point of view, the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) coupled with Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscope (EDXRF) and X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) were performed and different kidney stones were analyzed in this work. SEM-EDXRF was used to study compositional mapping which showed the elemental distribution within a sample. Additionally, the phase composition of all urinary stones was determined by the XRD analysis.
