Core Tip	In recent literature various computed tomography (CT) scan based stone parameters have been studied regarding their role in success of shock wave lithotripsy. These non-contrast CT parameters include skin-stone distance, stone volume and density of stone that might help in prediction of shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) procedural success. In recent guidelines it has been agreed upon that successful outcomes become less likely for harder stones-stone density more than 900-1000 Hounsfield units. Recently, novel parameters such as stone heterogeneity index and variation coefficient of stone density can be representative of stone heterogeneity and can be of utility in prediction of SWL outcome. We in this study, tried to ascertain their predictive role in shock wave lithotripsy outcomes.
