Abstract
The sensitivity and specificity for the detection of ureteral calculi on computerized tomography were decreased for underweight and overweight subjects when using extremely low dose radiation settings (less than 1 mSv). Low dose protocols of 15 mAs (2 mSv) can still be used for these subjects without jeopardizing the ability to identify ureteral stones.
