title: [Value of the scanner in acute pyelonephritis].
abstract: Twenty patients with clinical acute pyelonephritis were investigated by routine CT scan. This examination was positive in 19 cases, demonstrating either a hypodense triangular image reflecting a disorder of blood supply or a mass syndrome. The CT scan can therefore confirm the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis. It also defines the severity of the lesions and helps to guide treatment.
