KUB Ultrasound

A KUB ultrasound, short for "Kidneys, Ureters, and Bladder" ultrasound, is a diagnostic imaging procedure that focuses specifically on these organs within the abdomen and pelvis. It generates detailed images using sound waves to assess the size, shape, and condition of the kidneys, ureters (the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder), and bladder. This non-invasive test helps in diagnosing conditions such as kidney stones, urinary tract infections, and abnormalities in the urinary system. It's typically painless and doesn't require any special preparation, providing valuable information for healthcare professionals to evaluate urinary system health and guide treatment decisions.
