Can Kidney Stones Not Show On Ct Scan. Hi all i have been dealing with dull flank pain burning urination testicle ache and frequency. Kidney stones don t always show up in ultra sound.
Ct scans use a combination of x rays and computer technology to create images of your urinary tract. Nimeh can use that to evaluate you for kidney stones but if you are about to get a ct scan just for kidney stones then make sure you are not getting contrast because it s something you can avoid. Mri more specifically mr urogram may find them as wel.
Some however are made up of uric acid and don t show up directly.
Kidney stones don t always show up in ultra sound. Can a ct miss them. I m a 50 year old male btw. You were wrong that a kidney stone would not show up on a ct scan.
