To determine diagnostic values of ultrasonography in evalution of renal colic, ultrasonographic study of 35 patients in whom renal colic was clinically suspected was undertaken. The sonographic criterion for a positive finding consisted of visualization of urinary tract calculus with posterior acoustic shadowing with or without ureterectasis. Renal colic was correctly diagnosed by ultrasonography in 28 patients of 33 patients with proven ureteric stone, for an accuracy of 85%. Of the 33 patients with proven ureteric stone, there were 3 cases with ureteropelvic juncion stone, 4 cases with abdominal ureter stone, 4 cases with iliac ureter stone, 4 cases with pelvic ureter stone and 18 cases with ureterovesical junction stone. The results show that ultrasonography is an effective initial screening test when renal colic is clinically sustpected.
