Abstract
Cystine and urate calculi are considered nonradiopaque to faintly radiopaque. Two canine cases in which these types of calculi are radiopaque and clearly apparenton survey digital radiography are described. The densities of cystine and urate calculi, as determinedwith computed tomography, are compared to other pure calculi and mixed or compound calculi to further explore the relative attenuation characteristics.
