Table 2. Comparison between ultrasound and noncontrast helical computed tomography for identifying ureteral stone and/or intrarenal collecting system dilatation.

NCT positive for ureteral stone and/or intrarenal collecting system dilatation NCT negative for ureteral stone and/or intrarenal collecting system dilatation Total
US positive for ureteral stone and/or intrarenal collecting system dilatation 30 2 32
US negative for ureteral stone and/or intrarenal collecting system dilatation 11 9 20
Total 41 11 52

NCT = noncontrast helical computed tomography; US = ultrasound; k = 0.42 (42%) for agreement between senior residents and experienced radiologists.
