Abstract

Background and method: Prevalence of urolithiasis is increasing in industrialized countries—in both adults and children, representing a unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Risk-adapted diagnostic imaging currently means assessment with maximized sensitivity and specificity together with minimal radiation exposure. In clinical routine, imaging is performed by sonography, unenhanced computed tomography (NCCT) or intravenous urography (IVU) as well as plain kidney-ureter-bladder (KUB) radiographs. Aim: The aim of the present review is a critical guideline-based and therapy-aligned presentation of diagnostic imaging procedures for optimized treatment of urolithiasis considering the specifics in children and pregnant women.
