summary
- Objective, Evoluation of computed tomography in diagnosis of acute fhank
- pain in patients suspected of ureteral stones.
- Material and method. CT was performed in 30 patients with acute flank pain
- in where IVP and USG were not enough to make the diagnosis.
- Results. The final diagnosis was made in 21 patients. Sensityvity of the method
- was 100%, probability of positive results - 88%. Out of 21 IVP were negative.
- Conclusion. CT is an efective method in diagnosis of ureteral stones.
