Overview
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of the underlying etiology of hematuria. Ultrasound might be useful in detection of kidney stones, renal malignancy, and upper urinary tract malignancy. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of kidney stones include echogenic foci, acoustic shadowing, twinkle artifact on color Doppler, color comet-tail artifact.
