Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Objective. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of ultrasonography as an initial diagnostic tool in patients with suspected ureterolithiasis. Methods. We performed a prospective study of 318 patients with suspected ureteral stones over a 2 year period. If no cause of the flank pain was found by sonography, computed tomography was performed immediately to confirm the absence of ureteral stones. Results. We found urolithiasis with sonography in 291 of 296 patients with confirmed urolithiasis. The 5 remaining cases were identified after non–contrast-enhanced computed tomography (n = 5). Conclusion. Sonography can be used as an initial diagnostic tool in patients with suspected ureterolithiasis.
