| Advantages and Disadvantages of Radiography | Advantages : Useful for radio-opaque stones and Cheap Disadvantages : Use of ionising radiation, Poor resolution and Limited use for imaging the urinary system |

| Advantages and Disadvantages of CT scans | Advantages : Creates 3D axial ‘slices’ of the body and Can be used without contrast or with contrast Disadvantages : High dose X-ray (Ionising radiation) beam moves around the body in a circle and is more costly than X ray. |
| Advantages and Disadvantages of MRI scans | Advantages : Excellent resolution and Good evaluation of soft tissue Disadvantages : Noisy. Time-consuming, Expensive, Patient has to remain still for a prolonged amount of time, Image contrast determined by tissue density. |
| Advantages and Disadvantages of ultrasounds | Advantages : Can be used to quickly evaluate the size and shape of the kidneys and also uses high frequency sound waves with a good resolution Disadvantages : Operator dependant |
