Popis:	To evaluate the relationship between the degree of hydronephrosis and the detection rates of ureteral stones with ultrasonography (US). Of 250 consecutive patients with suspected ureterolithiasis, 214 who were diagnosed with ureterolithiasis were enrolled in this study. First, both kidneys were observed by US to evaluate the intrarenal collecting systems. Thereafter, the possible course of the ureters and the bladder were searched to find any stones. Stones were clearly observed in 80 (73%) of 109 patients with caliceal dilatation, whereas stones were clearly observed in 46 (44%) of 105 patients without dilatation (P
