Patient ID: 89033663

History (HX):
Left renal-colic, hematuria

Findings:
1- Left sided mild hydroureteronephrosis due to distal third ureter stone clearly on axial and reconstructed coronal CT KUB images
2- High dense foci within left renal cortex suggestive of nephrocalcinosisDiagnose (DX):
Left ureter stone, left cortical nephrocalcinosis

Discussion:
A CT KUB is done to evaluate the kidneys, ureters and bladder. Although this type of CT scan can be use to evaluate such things as kidney cysts in the abdomen or tumors in the pelvis, the primary reason is to determine if the patient has kidney stones. Since kidney stones can be very painful the CT KUB can help determine the size and location of these stones and help with the treatment. There is no preparation for a CT KUB and the exam takes only a few minutes to complete (It is unlikely a stone of any size would be missed with ours scans)
