Do kidney stones show up on ct scan?

I was just reading up on this because my dad has some lower back pain. It turns out a CT scan is the most precise test for kidney stones because it can spot even the tiny ones that other tests miss.

Actually yaar, CT scan is the best option for this. My brother's stone was hiding in a tricky spot and the normal ultrasound missed it completely. Got a CT done and the doctor found it in five minutes.

Yes, CT scans are highly accurate for this. Once the scan pinpointed my stone, my doctor told me it was small enough to pass. I kept up with high water intake and gentle brisk walking to help it move naturally, but always check with your doctor first.

They definitely show up on a CT scan, but it is a bit expensive compared to normal X-rays. Check with your insurance or look for diagnostic centers that offer package discounts to manage the cost better.
