- Title
Imaging in urinary tract infection: top-down or down-up?
- Authors
Müller, Lil-Sofie Ording
- Abstract
The article focuses on the aid of radiological imaging to differentiate upper and lower urinary tract infection (UTI) among children. It states that paediatric uroradiology is one of the backbones of radiological practice for UTI. It discusses various imaging systems used for UTI such as dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy, ultrasound (US), and voiding cystourethrography (VCUG). It concludes that radiological imaging in UTI remains crucial for children such as radiation exposure.
