Abstract
In our study, there was no statistically significant difference noted between USG and DT in diagnosis of urolithiasis. DT performed significantly better than USG in detecting ureteric calculi with a higher sensitivity. Hence, we are tempted to opine that DT may be preferred over USG for initial evaluation of patients with suspected ureteric calculi. However considering the strength of ultrasound in demonstrating associated signs as hydroureteronephosis, we are still of the opinion, that both DT and USG should be used as complementary techniques in resolving these common clinical screnarios.
