Study Summary

This is a multi-center, randomized controlled trial of ultrasonography (ultrasound) compared to computed tomography (CT) for the initial emergency room evaluation of patients with suspected renal colic. The investigators will compare several measures of effectiveness including morbidity related to the patient's underlying disease, or complications related to delayed diagnosis, patient status regarding pain/missed days of work, and utilization of health care resources based on one of three study arms: ultrasound in the Emergency Department, ultrasound in Radiology or CT.

Primary Outcome

Missed or delayed diagnosis of appendicitis, pneumonia with sepsis, diverticulitis, abdominal aortic aneurysm with rupture, mesenteric ischemia with bowel perforation, renal infarction, stone with renal abscess, urosepsis/pyelonephritis with bacteremia, ovarian torsion with necrosis related to randomization and due to imaging modality.
