A member asked:
Can kidney stones be found with an ultrasound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Ultrasound may not see the stone well but may see swelling in the tube (ureter) where a stone has clogged up the drain. A cat scan (ct) is usually the preferred test to better see the stones. But, unlike ultrasound exposes you to some radiation.
