Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging is more sensitive than dimercaptosuccinic acid scintigraphy in detecting parenchymal lesions in children with acute pyelonephritis: A prospective study
Journal of Pediatric Urology Mar 19, 2018
Bosakova A, et al. - Experts assessed if diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) and 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid static renal scintigraphy (DMSA-SRS) were comparable for demonstrating acute renal parenchymal lesions. As per the findings, for detecting acute renal inflammatory lesions and multifocal lesions DW-MRI demonstrated higher sensitivity vs DMSA-SRS. A low incidence of scars was seen and it corresponded to the anatomical location of acute and late lesions.
