CT KUB scans for renal colic: Optimisation of scan range to reduce patient radiation burden

Non-contrast CT KUB scans performed to assess renal colic should be limited to scanning between the upper pole of the highest kidney and the pubic symphysis to minimise unnecessary irradiation. This audit aimed to assess the amount of overscanning in CT KUBs outside this range.
