Ultrasound: Optimal Test for Kidney Stone Diagnosis and Management
For patients with kidney pain along with renal colic combination of kidney and bladder ultrasound provides an optimal approach for diagnosing patients with kidney stones without radiation exposure.
Renal ultrasound detects over 95% of kidney stones. In combination with a bladder ultrasound can also suggest with fairly good predictive value presence or absence of ureteral stones.
Kidney ultrasound can also detect other abnormalities such as kidney cysts, kidney masses. Bladder ultrasound can also detect a number of other abnormalities including bladder stones, bladder masses and enlarged prostate in men.
