Abstract
We have made a retrospective analysis of the diagnostic radiologic approach ten years
ago and in the present. The purpose of our analysis was to realise if the advanced technology means
advantage or disadvantage for patients with renal colic. We concluded that there is a significant elevation
in the radiation dose used for the diagnosis of the patients hospitalised with renal colic. That is
the reason why the guidelines change from year to year and only by following their recommendations
and protocols we should avoid unnecessary exposition. Raising the dose of radiation by advanced
diagnostic methods influences not only the patients but all the participants during these procedures.
It makes the working environment more harmful nowadays than a decade ago.
Keywords: radiation dose, renal colic, harms.
