Abstract
The Doppler Effect principle is used in US imaging in evaluation of the blood flow, direction, velocity and hemodynamic within the blood vessels. Renal or ureteral stones appear as bright echogenic foci within the ureter that cast a distal acoustic shadow and shows twinkling artifact on Colour Doppler. 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. We detected 139 calculi in 145 patients with sonography 130 patients had ureterolithiasis, 8 calculi identified in the urinary bladder, 1 calculus in the urethera. Twenty one patients without evidence of ureterolithiasis on sonography underwent non-contrast-enhanced CT (n=6), pre and post contrast CT (n=15), IVU (n=3) and radiographic work up Xray KUB (n=15). Sonography has high diagnostic efficacy in diagnosing in urteric colic conditions.
