Kidney stone
Few days back I had a pain in the right back to front,I consulted urologist he suggested some diagnostics ,after diagnosis of serum,CBP,ultra sound ,urine analysis he told me to go through CT scan for treatment to knw the position and the size of the stone...what I want to knw is upto what size of stones can be detected through ultra sound and x-ray(kub)?i also have x-ray(kub)but even though not shown the size...what I'm thinking is if the stone was big enough it would have detected but no..so my assumption is maybe the stone is small..please say the upto what size of stone is detected by ultra and X-ray
