Specializes in Diagnostic Radiology

If a kidney: stone is tiny or doesn't have a high enough calcium content, or if it is obscured on xray due to superimposed bowel contents or other structures, it is possible that it would only be visible on US and not xray. A CT scan would be more definitive when there is a discrepancy.
