KUB X-ray (Kidneys, Ureters, Bladder X-ray)

A KUB X-ray, which stands for Kidneys, Ureters, and Bladder X-ray, is a type of imaging test used to examine the urinary tract and surrounding areas. This X-ray helps doctors visualize the kidneys, the tubes that carry urine (ureters), and the bladder. It is useful for diagnosing conditions such as kidney stones, infections, or abnormalities in the urinary system. The procedure is quick, painless, and involves the patient lying still while the X-ray machine takes images. The results assist healthcare providers in determining the appropriate treatment for various urinary health issues.
