CT KUB Scan: What It Is and Why You Might Need One

Introduction

A CT KUB scan (Computed Tomography of the Kidneys, Ureters, and Bladder) is a highly effective imaging test used to diagnose conditions affecting the urinary tract. It provides detailed cross-sectional images of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder, helping doctors detect kidney stones, infections, blockages, and other urinary disorders.

At Usmanpura Imaging Centre, Ahmedabad’s most trusted diagnostic facility with over 40 years of experience, we offer advanced CT KUB scans using state-of-the-art technology for accurate and quick diagnosis.



Why is a CT KUB Scan Done?

A CT KUB scan is recommended by doctors to:

  1. Detect Kidney Stones: Identifies the size, location, and number of stones in the urinary tract.
  2. Diagnose Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Helps in evaluating recurrent infections.
  3. Identify Tumors or Cysts: Detects abnormal growths in the kidneys or bladder.
  4. Assess Urinary Blockages: Finds obstructions due to stones, strictures, or tumors.
  5. Evaluate Blood in Urine (Hematuria): Determines the underlying cause of blood in the urine.


How is the CT KUB Scan Performed?

The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and painless. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Preparation:

  1. • No special preparation is needed in most cases.
  2. • You may be asked to drink water before the scan.
  3. • Remove any metallic objects before the procedure.


2. Scanning Process:

  1. • You will lie on a CT scan table.
  2. • The scanner takes cross-sectional images of your kidneys, ureters, and bladder.
  3. • The entire scan usually takes 5–10 minutes.


3. After the Scan:

  1. • You can resume normal activities immediately.
  2. • The radiologist will analyze the images and provide a report.


CT KUB with or Without Contrast – What’s the Difference?

  1. Non-contrast CT KUB: Commonly used for kidney stone detection.
  2. Contrast-enhanced CT KUB: Used when evaluating tumors, infections, or other complex conditions.

Your doctor will recommend the appropriate type based on your symptoms.
