Urinary tract calculi (stones) are an important cause of acute abdominal pain, classically presenting with "loin to groin" pain.
Because of the potential to cause obstructive acute kidney injury, hydronephrosis and even sepsis, its key that junior doctors and medical students are able to confirm the presence of urinary tract calculi confidently and accurately.
CT KUB (Kidney, Ureters and Bladder) are the first-line imaging investigation in patients with suspected urinary tract stones.
In this video, Dr Glyn Estebanez covers the key relevant urinary tract anatomy, where stones most commonly become lodged and also specific CT findings we should be looking for to help us confirm our diagnosis of urinary tract calculi.

Hi, if you have passed a kidney stone, does it show up on CT scan? Say you passed a tiny (2mm) stone an hour before the scan, is there any way to tell that on the CT? :) Great video
