Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Radiology - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Renal colic is a worldwide problem affecting all races, gender, all age group. CT is the reference standard method for diagnosing urolithiasis, but it is also the major source of exposure to radiation during medical imaging. Aim and objective: To assess the role of CT (Computed Tomography) in diagnosis of renal colic patients at tertiary health care centre. Material and methods: Total 100 patients presented with renal colic to emergency department were studied. Sociodemographic data, clinical history recorded with pre tested questionnaire. Patients were investigated with CT scan. Data analyzed with appropriate statistical tests. Result: Most common affected age group for renal colic was 31-45 years. Males showed more incidence of renal stones than females. Sensitivity and specificity of CT scan was 100% each.
