From the case:
Distal right ureteric calculus
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/52032/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
Distal right ureteric stone with mild right hydronephrosis.
Case Discussion
CT is far more sensitive than plain films for detection of ureteric calculi. However, if a stone is radiopaque and large enough, plain films are useful to follow stone progress.
