Planning
- Choice of exam: In the acute setting, ultrasonography for urolithiasis is the optimal first investigation rather than CT.[1]
Evaluation
The sizing of a stone is most critical at around 5 mm[note 1]
Notes
Notes
- ↑ Stones less than Script error: No such module "convert". in diameter pass spontaneously in up to 98% of cases, while those measuring Script error: No such module "convert". in diameter pass spontaneously in less than 53% of cases.
