When did ct become protocol for kidney stones in emergency rooms?

In the early 1990's it became aware that CT scans could visulize kidney stones very well and then it evolved to the standard for identifying stones and documenting how much they block the drainage of urine.

I would guess about 20 yrs or so- since it was discovered to be more accurate and informative
