Conventional sonography is the primary imaging technique for pediatric urinary tract infections. Enhanced computerised tomography (CT) and dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy are used for difficult cases, while intravenous pyelography is no longer a first-step option.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Radiology
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Urology

Context:

  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in children.
  • Accurate imaging is crucial for diagnosis and management.
  • Established imaging protocols guide clinical practice.

Purpose:

  • To outline current imaging strategies for pediatric UTIs.
  • To define the roles of various imaging modalities.
  • To update recommendations based on technological advancements.

Summary:

  • Conventional sonography and Power Doppler sonography are initial imaging choices.
  • Enhanced computerised tomography (CT) and dimercapto-succinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy serve as complementary tools for complex cases.
  • Contrast cystourethrogram is essential, while intravenous pyelography is now considered outdated for initial evaluation.

Impact:

  • Provides a clear guideline for clinicians managing pediatric UTIs.
  • Optimizes the use of diagnostic imaging resources.
  • Ensures appropriate and timely diagnosis, potentially reducing long-term complications.
