CT and ultrasound: Spiral cts without intravenous contrast material can detect even very small stones and are considered one of the most sensitive tests for identifying all types of bladder stones ultrasound. An ultrasound, which bounces ultrasound can detect bladder stones as well.Sometimes detection depends on size of calculi in bladder and chemical makeup.

Yes for large ones: Small stones can usually be seen by us but can be missed. Thus not always if very small. Cystoscopy by urologist is best way to diagnose & stones, if present, can be removed at same time.
