How Can a CT Scan Help Detect Kidney Stones?

Kidney stones can cause severe back pain, abdominal discomfort, nausea and difficulty urinating. A CT KUB scan is commonly recommended to identify kidney stones and assess their size, location and number. It can also detect stones in the ureters and signs of urinary tract obstruction. Non-contrast CT imaging is particularly useful for detecting small stones that may not be visible on other examinations. Doctors use these findings to determine appropriate treatment and whether further investigation is necessary. Aarna Diagnostic Centre in Dehradun provides CT imaging services to support kidney stone detection and informed medical decisions.
