Genitourinary Imaging Tests
Plain X Rays Without Contrast
Abdominal x-rays without radiopaque contrast agents may be done to check for positioning of ureteral stents or to monitor position and growth of kidney stones. However, for initial diagnosis of Urinary Calculi , plain x-rays are less sensitive and less specific than CT and lack anatomic detail, so they are not the study of choice.
