Abstract
ULD CT and LD CT are effective techniques and yield high sensitivity and specificity. Although they yield comparable results against standard-dose CT KUB in detecting alternative diagnoses, they may not be as effective in detecting stones <3Â mm in size or in patients with a body mass index of >30Â kg/m2; however, this should be the first-line investigation for the majority of renal colic patients in the modern era.
