: All 391 study subjects in the cohort have been previously reported in European Radiology [1].The previous study developed a model for prediction of spontaneous ureteral stone passage based on manual stone measurements. In the current study the predictive strength of automated 3D measurements was compared to the previously reported manual measurements and the impact of the inter-reader variability on the prediction of the stone passage was evaluated.1.
