Urolithiasis is among the most common urological diseases. Given its frequency, manifestations, and complications, it is a serious

medical problem. Imaging techniques are of the most benefit in diagnosing lithiasis. In the recent years, CT examination has

become the gold standard in investigating urolithiasis, including renal colic.

Keywords: urolithiasis, renal colic, CT examination
