Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Study ultrasound	renal and bladder ultrasound with ureteral jet assessment	Study ultrasound with ureteral jet assessment will be obtained after CT diagnosis of ureteral calculus is made. Ureteral jet data will be documented and patients will be followed prospectively for 42 days for spontaneous stone passage or need for surgical intervention.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Time in Days From Diagnosis to Stone Passage.	42 days	Number of days that have elapsed from date of diagnosis to date of stone passage or intervention to maximum observation time (42 days).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The Number of Cases With Concordant Treatment Recommendations Based on the Ultrasound and CT Scan.	42 days
