Comparison of kidney-ureter-bladder abdominal radiography and computed tomography scout films for identifying renal calculi
BJU International, 07/16/09
Johnston R et al. - KUB could be used for follow-up in 63% of cases. All stones seen on CT scout were also visible on KUB. Scout detected 75% of stones visible on KUB. CT scout film should be reported before proceeding to KUB. If the stone is visible on CT scout film, then the decision to use KUB for follow-up can be made. This minimizes radiation exposure and other costs.
