A member asked:
Told there as a kidney stone that has shown up on xry that measures 2mm. can a kidney stone acurately be measured via xray?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May or may not: Best is helical ct scan. Some stones are missed by xrays. However, further work up should be done only if there are some symptoms.
