[Initial imaging in pediatric urinary tract infection].
First step imaging investigations in urinary tract infections in children rely upon conventional sonography, and, when available. Power Doppler sonography. Enhanced computerised tomography (CT) and dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy are complementary investigations in difficult cases. Contrast cystourethrogram has always to be performed. Intravenous pyelography is no longer used as a first step imaging technique.
