Abstract
Computed tomography is considered as an imaging modality of choice in acute ureteric colic. However due to concerns regarding radiation exposure, sonograms are re-emerging as imaging methods in such situations. Patients presenting to the Urology OPD or Emergency department at our hospital, who clinically have acute colicky flank pain, routinely undergo USG abdomen evaluation, among them suspected cases of ureterolithiasis were selected for initial evaluation by USG KUB evaluation and plain KUB radiograph, NCCT KUB done depending on clinical scenario. The 145 patients with urolithiasis identified on sonography included 130 patients with ureterolithiasis,8 patients with calculus in the urinary bladder, and 1 patient with uretherolithiasis. Sonogram can be used in all cases of acute ureteric colic.
