Ultrasound evaluation of bladder calculi.
A case is presented in which the identification of intravesical calculi by ultrasound was an aid in management. Bladder stones appear as high intensity echoes within the bladder, have an associated acoustic shadow and shift to the dependent portion of the bladder with alterations in position. Ultrasound provides a rapid, safe imaging technique to diagnose or verify the presence of bladder calculi.
