Understanding CT KUB (Plain)


What is CT KUB (Plain)?

KUB ultrasound is a lower abdominal ultrasound that is done to assess the urinary tract. The kidneys, urinary bladder, and ureters are scanned in females while the seminal vesicles and prostate gland are usually also included in males. A KUB ultrasound can help determine changes in the size of the kidneys, signs of kidney damage, structural abnormalities, and presence of obstruction like kidney stones, tumors, and cysts.
