X-ray of the urinary tract

X-ray of the urinary tract is a simple and effective X-ray examination that shows the abdomen and pelvis on a native image without contrast, with the aim of detecting obstructive changes, most commonly kidney stones. At Drinković Polyclinic, we perform urinary tract X-rays quickly, precisely, and without long waiting times, with expert interpretation of the findings.

When is an X-ray of the urinary tract performed?

An X-ray of the urinary tract is most commonly used when kidney stones are suspected, especially radiopaque (calcified) ones that are visible on an X-ray. The examination is also useful for monitoring known stones, assessing their size and migration, as well as as a complement to ultrasound.

Advantages of urinary tract X-ray

• quick and simple imaging
• good detection of radiopaque stones
• low radiation dose
• an ideal initial or follow-up examination

Limitations

Urinary tract X-ray does not show soft tissues and radiolucent stones in detail, so it is supplemented as needed with ultrasound, CT, or MRI.
