When we do not find a shadow of a ureteral stone on the x-ray, this does not mean that there is no stone, as it depends on the percentage of the presence of calcium in the composition of this stone, as some types of stones do not give a shadow on the x-ray.
The UVJ is the most common site of ureteric stones 1.
Therefore, the sensitivity of ultrasound in diagnosing ureteral or renal stones is better than X-rays 1.
