Specialists from the Stone Center at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and a patient family describe the symptoms of pediatric kidney stones, what causes them, and the techniques used in diagnosis.

The Stone Center provides comprehensive care including diagnosis, treatment, prevention and longterm followup so kids can live healthy, stonefree lives. The first step in treatment of kidney stones is coming to an accurate and complete diagnosis and determining what is causing the stones to prevent any more from developing in the future. Ultrasound is the Center's first imaging choice to avoid exposing the child to radiation from CT scan.
