Understanding the CT KUB Scan at Surya Diagnostics Centre, Nanded City, Pune

 
 
 

At Surya Diagnostics Centre in Nanded City, Pune, we aim to provide you not just a scan, but clarity, comfort and confidence. This blog explains what a CT KUB (Kidneys, Ureters, Bladder) scan is, why you might need it, how it’s done here, and what you can expect from the experience.

What is a CT KUB scan?

A CT KUB scan is a specialised computed tomography (CT) scan that images the kidneys (K), ureters (U) and bladder (B). It is designed to assess the urinary tract and adjacent structures and can help detect conditions like stones, obstructions, infections or anatomical abnormalities.

Unlike a regular ultrasound or plain X-ray, a CT scan provides detailed cross-sectional images, enabling our radiologist and urologist to view the urinary tract with high precision.

Why might you need a CT KUB?

Here are some common scenarios in which a doctor may recommend a CT KUB:

  • Recurring flank pain or suspected kidney/ureteric stone

  • Blood in urine (haematuria) without obvious cause

  • Suspected obstruction of urine flow or hydronephrosis (swelling of kidney)

  • Evaluation of urinary tract anatomy (pre-surgery/planning)

  • Monitoring known conditions of the kidneys, ureters or bladder

  • Imaging when ultrasound / plain X-ray are inconclusive

At Surya Diagnostics, our advanced multi-slice CT unit (noted in our facility description) supports accurate imaging of these conditions. DiagnosticCentres+1

What to expect during your CT KUB scan

  1. Preparation: You may be asked to fast for a few hours or avoid heavy meals before the scan. Depending on the indication, you might receive oral or IV contrast—our staff will explain.

  2. Registration & briefing: On arrival, staff will check your records, explain the procedure and address any queries you have.

  3. Scan positioning: You’ll lie on the CT table. The technologist will position you and may ask you to hold your breath briefly during image acquisition.

  4. Image acquisition: The scanner takes multiple thin-slice images of your kidneys, ureters and bladder. The advanced machine at Surya Diagnostics facilitates high-resolution images enabling detailed assessment.

  5. Completion & report: After the scan, you’ll be free to go (unless your doctor advises). The radiologist will interpret the images and generate a report, which will be shared with you / your referring doctor.

  6. Follow-up: If findings are significant (e.g., stones, blockage), your physician or a urologist may convene with you to discuss next steps.

Benefits & considerations

Benefits:

  • Very detailed imaging—better than plain X-ray or ultrasound for many urinary tract issues

  • Can detect small stones, anatomical variants, early obstruction

  • Quick procedure (often under 10-15 minutes of imaging)

Considerations:

  • Exposure to ionising radiation (though modern equipment minimises this)

  • If contrast is used, there is a small risk of allergic reaction or kidney impact (your clinician will assess suitability)

  • Need for breath-holding or stillness during the scan for image quality

At Surya Diagnostics, we use high-end equipment and follow standard protocols to keep radiation and risk to a minimum while maximising diagnostic value.

After the scan: What to do next

  • Drink plenty of water (unless instructed otherwise) to help flush any contrast used and support kidney health.

  • Ask your doctor about when to expect the report and next steps. At Surya Diagnostics, reports are often available promptly. suryadiagnosticscenter.com+1

  • If the scan shows findings such as stones, obstruction or anatomical issues, your referring physician or a specialist will discuss management options — which may include medical therapy, lithotripsy, surgery or follow-up imaging.
