What it is

A CT of the abdomen and pelvis without contrast dye makes cross-section pictures of the belly and pelvis in a single scan. It is the usual test when kidney stones are suspected, because stones show clearly without dye.

What the price covers

The hospital price usually covers the scan. The radiologist's reading is often billed separately.
