Calculi (stones) of the kidneys and ureters may be detected by ultrasound. A kidney ultrasound may be performed to assist in placement of needles used to biopsy (obtain a tissue sample) the kidneys, to drain fluid from a cyst or abscess, or to place a drainage tube.
Larger stones in the kidney may require treatment with a scope called a nephroscope inserted directly into the kidney so an ultrasound probe can be used to fragment the stone and evacuate the fragments.
