A KUB study is a simple radiographic procedure that involves taking X-rays of the kidney, ureter, and bladder. The test is non-invasive and painless, and does not involve the use of dye or any other contrast agents. It is usually completed in a radiology department rather than a surgical suite and takes only a few minutes to complete.
