It has been used as a guide, assuming that if the kidney stone could be seen on the CTI the kidney stone also would be visible on a conventional plain KUB (radiopaque). From the perspective of diagnosis and treatment as well as follow-up it is of importance to know whether a kidney ...
CT scan of the Chest (Thorax) is done to further study an abnormality or a problem that is detected on a plain chest X-ray. Chest CT can also be done to look for enlarged lymph nodes, problems with the heart, aorta, esophagus, lungs and tissues present in the chest. Some of the co...
PURPOSE To evaluate the diagnostic yield of unenhanced multislice computed tomography (CT) with radically reduced radiation dose equivalent to that of a conventional renal x-ray (KUB) in assessing patients with renal colic. METHOD AND MATERIALS 30 patients (age range: 24-66 years) with clinical...
CTKUB delivers an average effective radiation dose of 5.4 millisievert (mSv) and is used to follow-up calculi not visible on plain X-ray, whereas plain radiography has a radiation exposure of 0.7mSv and is used to follow-up radio-opaque calculi. We assessed the effectiveness of using ultra...
