Study of Renal Stones Using CT-KUB

Abstract

The study aimed evaluation of renal tract stone using Computed tomography Kidney Ureter bladder (CT UKB) in measuring of unary system stone. . This study was expended from 2015 to 2016 , in royal care hospital random sample of 50 patients , 36 males (72%) and 14 females (28%) , their ages range from 20 to 65 years , were chosen for CT –KUB . CT- KUB was obtained the entire subject and stones length, width computed tomography (CT) number, and we were measured by using computer. Scanning was done using Toshiba ( 64 slices ) Machine with slice thickness 8 mm , collimation of 0.8 × 16mm , 120 Kvp , and mAs 150 mill ampere The result showed , the male were more affect than female and there were linear relationship between the stone lengths , width area , CT number with age . There is signification correlation between age of the patient and stone size (correlationsignificant 0.934 ) CT KUB has great value in detection of calculus as it accurate without magnification
