Urinary stone disease is the current issue for healthcare system worldwide. High prevalence of urinary stone disease (at least 5% of the population of developed countries) determines clinical significance of the studying of its etiology and pathogenesis, improving of diagnostic methods and novel treatment technologies. The development of endoscopic devices, creation of new eswl machines and improvement of endourology interventions under X-ray guidance allowed to solve the problem of surgical treatment. Therefore, one of the actual issue is the choice of X-ray method for predicting and evaluating of treatment efficiency in patients with urinary stone disease. The changes of renal blood flow depend on urodynamic disturbances, stone location and size, the duration of disease, complications, patients age.
