Urinary Calculi.—3. In the Bladder.—A vesical calculus may beformed of almost any of the urinary deposits met with, and each has its owncharacteristics. (a) The uric-acid calculus is usually oval in shape and flattened, and of. Fig. 184.—Large stone in the variations in the density of the stone arc well shown. 244 RADIOGRAPHY variable density. On section it is distinctly laminated with a smoothor slightly undular surface of a brownish colour. It may be crusted withphosphatic material. A pure uric-acid calculus gives a faint shadow radio-grapliically. (b) The urate of ammonium calculus is of a similar structure, but oflighter colour. (c) Oxalate of lime calculus is a rough irregular body, not infrequentlytuberculated or even spiculated. It is extremely hard and dense, of areddish-brown colour, or sometimes black, owing to admixture with is rarely of great size, on accoimt of the irritation caused by its presenceand its slowness of growth. (d) A pure phosphatic calculus is somewhat rare, but any stone or foreignbody is certain to become coated with a phosphatic deposit when chroniccystitis has resulted in alkaline decomposition of the
