Kidney stone imaging is an important diagnostic tool and initial step in deciding which
therapeutic options to use for the management of kidney stones. Guidelines provided by the …

Imaging has an essential role in the diagnosis, management, and follow-up of patients with
stone disease. A variety of imaging modalities are available to the practicing urologist …

The diagnosis and initial management of urolithiasis have undergone considerable
evolution in recent years. The application of noncontrast helical computed tomography (CT) …

The modern management of urolithiasis requires a multi-disciplinary approach. Imaging
plays a central role in both diagnosis and planning therapy of renal and ureteric calculi. This …

Background We wondered whether noncontrast CT performs better than the intravenous
urogram (IVU) in the detection of urinary calculi. Methods A comprehensive search of the …

Objective To assess the efficacy of ultrasonography (US) for detecting renal stone using
noncontrast enhanced computed tomography (NCCT) as a standard reference. Methods We …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate differences in stone measurement using computed tomography
(CT) and ultrasound (US). Axial unenhanced helical CT is the reference-standard imaging …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the use of helical computed tomography (CT) without contrast
material enhancement for prediction of a favorable outcome in ureterolithiasis. MATERIALS …

Purpose: Urolithiasis followup with plain abdominal x-ray requires adequate visualization of
the calculus on the initial x-ray or computerized tomography (CT) study. We compared the …

Objectives To determine the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasonography (US) for detecting
renal calculi and to assess the accuracy of US for determining the size of calculi and how …
