Spiral CT Scan of KUB (Screening) Price in Bangladesh

What is Spiral CT Scan of KUB (Screening)?

A Spiral CT Scan of the KUB (Kidneys, Ureters, and Bladder) for screening is a non-invasive imaging procedure used to assess the urinary system for abnormalities such as kidney stones, tumors, or blockages. It provides detailed cross-sectional images of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder using X-rays.

During the scan, you lie on a table while the CT scanner rotates around your abdomen and pelvis to capture images. No special preparation is typically required, though you may be asked to remove jewelry.

Risks include radiation exposure, though the benefits for screening purposes typically outweigh this concern. Results help identify issues early for prompt treatment.

What to expect & how to prepare

A CT scanner takes many X-ray images from different angles and combines them into cross-sectional pictures. You lie on a table that moves through a ring-shaped scanner.

• Contrast: some CT studies use an iodine-based contrast injection and some do not. If contrast is planned, the centre may ask you to avoid food for a few hours and to bring a recent kidney function report.
• Tell the staff: mention kidney disease, diabetes medicines such as metformin, asthma, previous reaction to contrast, or any allergy before the scan.
• Metal: jewellery and metallic items in the scan area are removed; you may be asked to change into a gown.
• Fasting: a plain CT without contrast normally needs no fasting — confirm with the centre which type is booked for you.

CT uses ionising radiation, at a higher dose than a plain X-ray. Tell the staff if you are pregnant or think you might be, so the request can be reviewed.

Performed by a radiology team, normally on a doctor's request.
