Correlation of Hydronephrosis on Point of Care Ultrasound With CT Finding in Patients With Expected Renal Colic

hydronephrosis on point-of-care bedside ultrasound to identify hydronephrosis as compared to
hydronephrosis found by CT.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Emergency Department patients 18 yrs or older with suspected renal colic in whom the
clinician intends to obtain a CT scan to diagnose kidney stone.
- Informed consent will be required prior to enrollment in the study.
