There's definitely no kidney stones, correct? That's what I was worried about the most. I had an ultrasound last week that said possible stone in left kidney so I saw a urologist and he thinks that the ultrasound was a false positive, he doesn't think that there's a stone because I had a normal ultrasound and cat scan 9 months ago. So you definitely don't see any stone, correct? Thank you!

Some calculus may be missed in X-ray.
As CT scan has been done,it confirms no calculus.Plain CT scan is most sensitive for renal calculus.
