dc.description.abstractIn the past, the standard technique used for detecting urinary tract stones was the Intravenous Urogram (IVU). Limitations of this technique however, including non-radiographically opaque stones (15%), the use of potentially nephrotoxic intravenous contrast material (particularly in diabetics and patients with renal function impairment), and poor visualisation in obese patients and those with abundant intestinal gas, which have resulted in a considerable number of missed urinary tract stones.en_GB
