About NCCT KUB
NCCT KUB is an imaging test that is performed for a thorough examination of the entire urinary system. These structures include the urinary bladder, ureters, and kidneys. Mostly, this test is performed when the presence of a stone in the urinary system or other diseases that may be responsible for sudden or serious urinary symptoms is suspected.
What is NCCT KUB?
Non-contrast computed tomography of the KUB, which is done without IV contrast. NCCT KUB has developed into a common technique used to diagnose stones in the urinary tract. This study can also give information about the size, number, location, and density of stones, as well as determine the presence or absence of obstruction.
Common Reasons for NCCT KUB
Flank or Side Pain
NCCT KUB may be recommended for sudden or persistent pain in the side, lower back, or abdomen when a urinary stone is suspected.
Suspected Kidney Stones
Most doctors will tell you this whenever the patient exhibits signs of having stones in the kidney or urinary tract.
Blood in Urine
The test can help rule out blood in the urine and find abnormalities in the urinary tract that could be related to the symptom.
Painful Urination
NCCT KUB may be taken into consideration when there are urinary symptoms and the condition is thought to be a stone or a blockage.
Recurrent Urinary Stones
It helps to identify stone recurrence as well as identifying the location of the stone in case it needs to be removed.
Urinary Obstruction
A stone or other structural abnormality may be blocking your flow of urine. An NCCT KUB may detect this.
Follow-Up of Known Stones
It can be performed to follow known urinary calculi and to evaluate any change in their position or size.
Conditions Evaluated
Kidney Stones
An NCCT KUB can reveal the stone's precise appearance and assist in ascertaining the size, quantity, location, and density of the stone.
Ureteric Stones
It can also detect stones in the ureters and determine the stone's location and effect on urine flow.
Urinary Bladder Stones
NCCT is capable of demonstrating calculi within the urinary bladder along with their size and location.
Hydronephrosis
The presence of a stone in the urinary tract can cause blockage and affect the kidney. This is detected on the NCCT KUB.
Ureteric Obstruction
The test is used to rule out obstruction or narrowing of the ureter and to see if it is affected by a stone.
Urinary Tract Abnormalities
There may also be structural abnormalities of the kidney, ureters, bladder and other tissues of the urinary tract.
Other Abdominal and Pelvic Findings
As the procedure encompasses the relevant abdominal and pelvic area, other abnormalities may be revealed within neighbouring structures during the investigation.
