CT is better: Bobcat: a ct scan is better than a regular xray to see smaller stones. The problem comes in when you already had a ct because we don't want to continuously expose you to the radiation of a ct scan. A sonogram might be a good option for you because it will show the kidney and whether there is any obstruction caused by the stone.
