Ureteric colic: new trends in diagnosis and treatment

Abstract: The diagnostic approach to ureteric colic has changed due to the introduction of new radiological imaging such as non-contrast CT. The role of intravenous urography, which is regarded as the gold standard for the diagnosis of ureteric colic, is being challenged by CT, which has become the first-line investigation in a number of centres.

Üç film çekilen İVP'deki dozun 2-3 katı kadar radyasyona maruz kalma, dezavantajlarından birisidir (41). Bir kere bu dozda radyasyon almanın yaşam boyu malignansi riskine 1/4000 ilave yapacağı bildirilmiştir (42).…”
