X-ray - KUB
X-ray – KUB (Kidney, Ureter, Bladder) is a diagnostic imaging procedure used to examine the urinary system. It provides a clear view of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder, helping detect abnormalities such as kidney stones, urinary tract obstruction, or calcifications.
This test is commonly recommended for individuals with abdominal pain, suspected kidney stones, urinary issues, or follow-up of known urinary tract conditions. It can also be used to monitor the position of medical devices such as catheters or stents.
KUB X-ray is a quick, non-invasive procedure that offers valuable information for initial evaluation and ongoing management of urinary tract disorders. It may be combined with other imaging tests for a more detailed assessment.
The purpose of the X-ray – KUB test is to:
- Examine kidneys, ureters, and bladder
- Detect kidney or urinary stones
- Identify blockages or obstructions
- Assess urinary tract abnormalities
- Monitor urinary system conditions
