A member asked:
Ct showed 4mm kidney stone 8 days ago. x-ray today showed nothing. i don't think it has passed, but not much pain. should i get another ct?

CT showing stone: CT scan images are far more precise than plain KUB xray. CT scan will pick up smaller images and will pick up non-calcium containing stones. KUB will reveal only calcium stones and size and position and angles matter for visibility. Getting another CT is not compelling. Drink 4-5 liters per day. Include lemon extract 5 tblspn ReaLemon per day. 4 mm will pass.
