“…Most of the currently available data is from the pediatric patient population. However, recent studies have shown encouraging results using renal scintigraphy in adults with spinal cord injury, a population in whom the localization of UTI may be difficult based on clinical grounds alone [39,40]. Finally, the role of MRI in the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis has yet to be established.…”

Urinary tract infections are common, especially among women, and cause significant morbidity. While prognosis is probably more dependent on whether or not an episode of urinary tract infection is complicated (ie, associated with functional, metabolic, or anatomic abnormalities of the urinary tract) or uncomplicated, anatomic localization of infection has important implications for therapy. Pyelonephritis is difficult to diagnose with a high degree of accuracy based on clinical findings alone. Radiologic imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of selected patients. Noninvasive and inexpensive methods to allow accurate localization of infection are needed.
