- Abstract
The article discusses the assessment of hydronephrosis in patients with renal colic by emergency physicians (EPs) using point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). Topics include the comparison of POCUS to computed tomography (CT) scans, the assessments made by radiologists regarding hydronephrosis, and the notion of pretest clinical probability.
