Capabilities of color and power Doppler sonography (DS) were prospectively evaluated for
diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis and for prediction of scarring by comparison with 99mTc …

Purpose This study assessed the role of renal power Doppler ultrasonography (PDU) to
identify acute pyelonephritis (APN) and to determine whether PDU can replace Tc-99m …

Abstract 99m Technetium dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy is the imaging
modality of choice for the detection of acute pyelonephritis and chronic renal scarring in …

UNLABELLED: Acute pyelonephritis is a common infection in children. The clinical and
biological diagnosis is still sometimes difficult. For most authors, Technecium 99m …

Background Tc 99m DMSA scintigraphy is regarded as the gold standard for the detection
and localization of acute pyelonephritis (APN) in children. Power Doppler sonography (PD …

Ninety-one children 1 week to 10 years old with culture-documented febrile urinary tract
infection were evaluated with renal sonography and renal cortical scintigraphy by using …

Renal cortical scintigraphy has been reported to be useful in children for confirmation of the
diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis. Subsequent experimental studies have demonstrated that …

Focal areas of decreased perfusion may be shown by power Doppler sonography in
children with acute pyelonephritis. The purposes of this study were to assess the ability of …

In the absence of specific symptomatology in children, the early diagnosis of acute
pyelonephritis (APN) is a challenge, particularly during infancy. In an attempt to differentiate …

The 99mTc-DMSA scan is accepted as the most sensitive imaging modality for detecting
areas of renal parenchymal scarring. More recently the DMSA scan has also been shown to …
