title: [Role of urographic 64 CT examination for the evaluation of kidney inflammation diseases].
abstract: In the study of inflammatory kidney diseases, the use of integrated imaging is considered the best diagnostic approach. However, given the high cost of radiological examinations, the radiologist is responsible for the choice of the best method to solve the question asked by the clinician. In this paper are presented the main imaging methods for the study of pyelonephritis and, based on our experience, it is emphasized the role of multidetector Computed Tomography urographic technique in the identification, characterization and subsequent follow-up of inflammatory kidney diseases.
