About CT KUB - Plain
CT KUB - Plain is a sophisticated imaging procedure using X-rays and computer technology to create detailed images of the kidneys, ureters, and the urinary bladder without the use of intravenous dye. It's incredibly detailed in showing the urinary tract and its surrounding structures and is considered the gold standard for detecting UT stones.
It provides excellent visualization of these organs, like the kidneys, urinary bladder, and adjacent organs, the adrenal glands, soft tissues, and other surrounding organs, and can be used to properly diagnose both acute and chronic conditions in the urinary tract. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy uses cutting-edge CT imaging technology to produce optimal images for a thorough evaluation of urological conditions.
What is a CT KUB - Plain?
A non-invasive imaging test done without using intravenous (IV) contrast dye is a CT KUB - Plain. It produces a detailed image of the urinary tract (urinary stones, urinary obstruction, abnormalities in the structure, etc.) using X-rays and special computer processing. This may be ordered if you are having a lot of pain in your back or flank, or have frequent urinary tract infections or blood in the urine if your symptoms aren't coming from another source.
Common Reasons for CT KUB - Plain
Suspected kidney stones
Severe flank or abdominal pain
Blood in the urine (Hematuria)
Suspected ureteric or bladder stones
Recurrent urinary tract infections
Evaluation of urinary tract obstruction
Assessment of congenital urinary tract abnormalities
Follow-up after treatment for urinary stones
Conditions Evaluated
Kidney Stones
Accurately detects the size, number, and location of stones within the kidneys.
Ureteric Stones
Identifies stones lodged in the ureters and evaluates the degree of urinary obstruction.
Bladder Stones

Hydronephrosis
Evaluates swelling of the kidneys caused by urinary tract obstruction.
Congenital Urinary Tract Abnormalities
Assesses structural abnormalities involving the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.

The patient is positioned comfortably on the CT scanner table with the abdomen and pelvic region properly aligned for accurate imaging of the urinary system.
The scan is performed without intravenous (IV) contrast, making it a non-invasive examination for evaluating the kidneys, ureters, and urinary bladder.
The CT scanner acquires high-resolution cross-sectional images of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, adrenal glands, surrounding soft tissues, and adjacent abdominal structures.
The patient is instructed to remain completely still during image acquisition to prevent motion artefacts and ensure clear image quality.
The examination helps evaluate kidney stones, ureteric stones, bladder stones, urinary obstruction, hydronephrosis, congenital urinary tract abnormalities, and other urological conditions.
The procedure is safe, painless, non-invasive, and generally completed within 5–10 minutes.
The radiologist carefully reviews the images to assess the size, location, and number of urinary stones along with any obstruction or structural abnormalities to support accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
After detailed evaluation, the final report is generally available within 04 hours.
