[Imaging of acute urinary infections in adults. Radiologic findings and strategy for imaging procedures].
Urinary infection is very common in women. Generally no imaging is needed. The role of imaging is mandatory in the following cases: renal infection, urinary obstructive syndrome, immuno-compromised patients. The results of imaging in pathology are described: pyelonephritis, renal and perinephric abscesses with or without phlegmon, perinephritis and emphysematous perinephritis. A strategy for imaging procedures is proposed.
