Overview
Abdominal CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of hydronephrosis. Findings on CT scan suggestive of hydronephrosis include dilation of the proximal ureter, identification of the site of obstruction and calyceal blunting.
CT
- Abdominal CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of hydronephrosis. Findings on CT scan suggestive of hydronephrosis include:[1][2][3][4]
- Stone size if hydronephrosis is due to kidney stones
- Papillary necrosis
- Dilation of the proximal ureter
- Dilatation of the collecting system
- Site of obstruction
