1) Familiarize attendee with the radiologic features of the spectrum of urinary stone disease. 2) Familiarize attendees with the role of imaging in the management of patients with stone disease. 3) Familairize attendees with the role of the different imaging modalities in diagnosis of urinary stone disease.
Imaging is crucial in the diagnosis and management of urinary stone disease. Abdominal radiography, ultrasound and CT all continue to be important modalities in detecting urinary stone disease, determining stone composition, determining the best management strategy, and in detecting complications due to stone disease. In this presentation, the role, advantages and pitfalls of the different imaging modalities available to evaluate stone disease will be discussed.
