Most tech will just look for hydro and not bother going further and tracking the ureter all the way down trying to find the stone , being also an X-ray my training just wants to try and avoid this patient getting radiation so I would say I find it 90% of the time.

Good on you for being thorough. In diagnostic X-ray and US, it’s totally dependent on the individual. I made my radiology bones 3 decades back. From darkroom processing to daylight cassette to digital. Incredible strides in a short period. CT and all that.

And it opened doors in education and employment that I never dreamed of in the beginning.
