There are no x-ray findings associated with [disease name].
*The relatively dense calcium renders these stones radio-opaque and they can be detected by a traditional [[X-ray]] of the abdomen that includes the '''K'''idneys, '''U'''reters and '''B'''ladder—[[Kidneys, ureters, and bladder|KUB]].
 
*This may be followed by an [[Intravenous pyelogram|IVP]] (Intravenous Pyelogram; (IntraVenous Urogram (IVU) is the same test by another name)) which requires about 50 ml of a special dye to be injected into the bloodstream that is excreted by the kidneys and by its density helps outline any stone on a repeated X-ray.

*These can also be detected by a [[retrograde pyelogram]] where similar "dye" is injected directly into the ureteral opening in the bladder by a surgeon, usually a urologist.
