摘要：

The diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis in children remains a clinical challenge. We assessed the feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detection of pyelonephritis in four pediatric patients and compared the results with renal cortical scintigraphy. MRI revealed areas of high signal intensity in the kidney that coincided with photon-deficient regions in the radionuclide scans in two children with acute pyelonephritis. These findings confirm work in experimental animals and indicate that MRI can accurately detect acute pyelonephritis in children.
