Group I: Kidney stonesExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Device: Verasonics Data Acquisition System (VDAS)
Other Names:
Verasonics Data Acquisition System (VDAS) Verasonics Ultrasound Engine Subjects will be imaged the Verasonics Data Acquisition System (VDAS) using conventional clinical outputs within FDA limits. The image processing has been modified.
Subjects in this arm will be imaged by ultrasound by the VDAS. Stone location and size will be determined and compared to clinical determination of stone location and size.
