SSS for renal calculi.

S: stone size, the length × width of the largest cross-sectional area of stone in CT plain scan = cross-sectional area (mm2)1 points 0∼399
2 points: 400∼799
3 points: 800∼1599
4 points: ≥1600

T: tract length, the distance measured from the center of stone to the skin on the cross section of CT (horizontal line, 45° line, and vertical line).1 point: ≤100 mm
2 points: >100 mm

O: obstruction, degree of hydronephrosis1 point: no obstruction or mild hydronephrosis
2 points: moderate or severe hydronephrosis

N: number of involved calices1 point: 1 renal caliceal involvement
2 points: 2–3 renal calices involvement
3 points: complete staghorn calculi

E: essence or stone density1 point: ≤950HU
2 points: >950HU
