Objectives: This study aims to assess the accuracy of the NECT technique in the prediction of whether ureteral stones will pass spontaneously or not. Patients and Methods: In a prospective cohort study including 36 participants (age range, 18-70 years) having a ureteral stone, referred for NECT examination at the Radio-Diagnosis Department of Zagazig University Hospitals. Results: our study revealed a significant relationship between the two study groups according to the location (p 0.05). Our study demonstrated a method based on stone size and location can predict the probability of stone passage within a short time (8 wks.). Conclusions: That NECT is a good predictor for spontaneous passage of ureteral stones.
