A recent publication demonstrated how Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (#LIBS) can advance the clinical understanding of #urinary stone composition. A machine learning model combining LIBS and clinical data achieved 94% accuracy in identifying recurrence-associated profiles such as magnesium and strontium. These insights may support better risk assessment and prevention strategies in #urolithiasis management. Learn more: https://ilphotonics.com/libs-unlocks-new-insights-in-urology/
