Abstract
We have created a library of 497 digitized infrared spectra of 58 components of urinary calculi and of their usual binary and ternary mixtures. We tested the operation of the "Birsy" search program (Bruker Analytische Messtechnik) with this library for the interpretation of infrared spectra of 50 urinary calculi, selected from both classical and difficult cases. This program correctly identifies the two first components 98% of the time and the third (minor) component 70% of the time. Using this program, those without training or experience in infrared analysis can routinely use the infrared method of analysis of urinary calculi.
