A member asked:
Hi dr! i want to ask.. is it possible that a kidney stones was seen in ultrasound but can't be seen in ct scan with contrast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, because: it had probably passed in the meantime. Small stones generally pass. Most important for you is to prevent recurrence of stones.
