Detection rate of ureteric stones with ultrasonography and relationship with grade of hydronephrosis

Abstract: Background: Ultrasound scanning can serve as reliable, basic first line mode of imaging techniques in detecting ureteric stone in patients with hydronephrosis and grade them accordingly with or without need of other imaging techniques.Aims and Objective: To evaluate the relationship between the degree of hydronephrosis and the detection rates of ureteral stones with ultrasonography in computed tomography or intravenous urography proven cases of ureteric calculi.Materials and Methods: This was a prospective obs… Show more
