Acute flank pain is a common presentation in patients attending casualty/OPD and is representation of many diseases. Urolithiasis is appears to be the most frequent cause of frequent cause of flank pain, affecting 3% to 5% of the population in urbanized countries1 . Urolithiasis is estimated to have a lifetime incidence of 5- 12 percent usually presenting in patients 30-60 years of age and is approximately three times more common in males1, 2 and out of these has recurrence rate approximate 50 %3 It is; therefore, important to address this problem after making early diagnosis by using traditional different imaging techniques like X-rays (X-Ray KUB) and conventional ultrasound (USG)), intravenous pyelogram (IVP) and Non-Contrast CT (NCCT) which is becoming increasingly popular due to its high accuracy, less time consuming, no contrast allergy and detecting radiolucent stones in addition to alternate diagnosis .
