A us doctor answered learn more. The stones will only show on an xray if they are blocking the ureter or they are calcific made of calcium. X ray will not detect uric acid stones because they are radiolucent.
Should i get another ct.
Calcium stones account for 80 of all kidney stones and can be detected by both ct and ultrasound if the size is large enough. Not all stones show up on scans it depends on what kind of stone they are what it is made of. The kub x ray is often obtained by the surgeons to determine if the stone is suitable for shock wave treatment. X ray today showed nothing.
