“…There were no false-negatives detected by iMRVC, giving a high sensitivity, but 3 renal units were considered positive on iMRVC where they were negative on MCUG, giving a 78% specificity. There are several possible reasons for this discrepancy, whether technical or physiological: VUR may be a transient phenomenon, as techniques such as DRC have different sensitivity to MCUG [24], and repeated bladder filling/voiding cycles increases VUR detection: a second cycle can increase VUR detection by between 12% (CEUS [29]) and 20% (during MCUG [7,9]). The sensitivity of a single-cycle MCUG may be low, but many centres (including ours) perform only one cycle due to concerns about dose, at the expense of potential false-negative results [6], despite three cycles advised in recent European recommendations [30].…”
