Can CT Scan Of Kidneys Detect Stones?
Hello, I am 31 years old and 165cm tall. My ultrasound report shows that I have 3 stones from 5 to 7 mm. Then I did KUB followed by IVU but these two procedures could not detect stones. Now I am having pain and I went to doctor and asked me to do plain CT KUB. I would like to know, is this procedure is reliable and guarantee that it detects all kinds of stones. Thanks in advance.
