1. Purpose:

A comprehensive non-contrast CT scan of the KUB (Kidneys, Ureters, and Bladder) is used to evaluate the urinary tract without the use of contrast material. It is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as kidney stones, urinary tract obstructions, and structural abnormalities.

2. No Contrast Administration:

This scan does not involve the use of contrast material, relying solely on X-ray technology to provide detailed images of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.

3. Preparation:

Patients typically need to fast for a few hours before the scan to ensure optimal imaging conditions. There is no need for oral or intravenous contrast.

4. Imaging Procedure:

The patient lies on a motorized table that moves through the CT scanner. Multiple cross-sectional images of the KUB region are taken from different angles to assess the urinary tract.

5. Radiologist Analysis:

The resulting images are reviewed by a radiologist to identify abnormalities such as kidney stones, structural issues, or any obstructions in the urinary tract.

6. Post-Procedure Care:

No specific post-procedure care is required related to contrast, but patients should be advised to resume normal activities and consult their physician if any issues arise.
