[Diagnostic strategy in urolithiasis].
The roentgenological diagnostics of urolithiasis must be carried out with regard to the therapeutic consequences. With the appropriate use of new imaging methods the prevailing techniques are native radiographs and sonography for proof or rejection of suspected renal calculus. Excretion urography is no longer justified as the primary method of investigation. Already practically proven diagnostic schedules are described. Interdisciplinary cooperation of radiologist and urologist is essential for the introduction of diagnostic strategies into practice.
